Breaking News | | Sunday, October 2nd, 2033: Thomas Belts Bunch of Base Hits Lane Thomas really sizzled at the plate today. In a game played at Tiger Stadium, the Detroit center fielder blistered the Baltimore Orioles for 5 hits in 6 at-bats to pace his club to a 9-3 victory.
"Thomas was too tough to get out today," the Orioles skipper said in his postgame interview. "No matter what we threw him, he hit it. And he hit some good pitches, too."
L. Thomas singled in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, hit a two-run triple in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
So far this year Thomas is batting .358 with 10 home runs, 53 RBIs and 53 runs scored. | | Monday, September 19th, 2033: Curtis Pounds AL Pitchers This Week Curtis swung a blistering bat last week for the Baltimore Orioles, rapping out 13 hits in 26 at-bats against Baltimore opponents to propel himself to the American Player of the Week Award.
Whenever the left fielder hit the ball, he hit it with authority. The 31-year-old racked up a .500 batting average (13-26) with 3 home runs, 15 RBIs and 10 runs scored.
This season Curtis is swinging the bat at a .318 pace. He has hit 43 home runs and scored 121 times, while driving in 152. His on-base percentage is .410 and he has played in 143 games. | | Sunday, September 11th, 2033: Luciano Goes 5-5 If the Baltimore Orioles know how best to pitch the Anaheim second baseman Marco Luciano they didn't tip their hand today. Instead Luciano showed he knew how best to hit them as he easily handled Orioles pitching, going 5 for 5 and helping the Angels to a 12-9 triumph at Edison International Field.
He told SION reporters in the postgame interview, "The way I was swinging today, I think I could have closed my eyes and hit the ball."
The Baltimore skipper quipped, "Well, the next time we may just do that...blindfold him...and then pitch him differently, just to be sure."
M. Luciano hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 6th and hit a two-run single in the 7th.
This year Luciano is batting .337 with 176 hits, 29 home runs, 115 RBIs, 46 walks, .402 OBP and has scored 118 runs. | | | Team Information | Record overall | 93-69, .574 PCT | Position in Division | 1st, - GB | Record at home | 44-37, .543 PCT | Record on the road | 49-32, .605 PCT | Record in X-inning games | 4-2, .667 PCT | Record in one-run games | 23-16, .590 PCT | Record versus LHP | 32-22, .593 PCT | Record versus RHP | 61-47, .565 PCT | Record last 10 games | 4-6, .400 PCT | Record in April | 13-11, .542 PCT | Record in May | 13-14, .481 PCT | Record in June | 18-10, .643 PCT | Record in July | 15-11, .577 PCT | Record in August | 20-9, .690 PCT | Record in September | 13-13, .500 PCT | Record in October | 1-1, .500 PCT |
