 | Going Once! Twice! Gone Again! 3 HR for Valenzuela Monday, July 16th, 2046 The "hardest feat in sports" debate is a never-ending one with no correct answer, but hitting three home runs is certainly in the conversation. That's exactly what Jesús Valenzuela did today at OLD BAY Park at Camden Yards, going deep three times and carrying his team to victory, 8-1. "It all came together. I was seeing the ball well and I got some good pitches to hit," Valenzuela said. "Good things happen, when that happens." The Charm City Jimmies left fielder blistered the Edmonton Jackrabbits for 3 hits, batted in 4 runs and scored 3 times. "It ain't like we weren't trying," Edmonton manager Juan Carlos Gonzáles said. "He was hot and really torched my boys today." Jesús Valenzuela grounded out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Lando Klomp in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Víctor Ortega in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Chris Thomas in the 8th. This season Valenzuela has hit at a .289 clip with 17 RBIs, 8 home runs and 16 runs scored. He has played in 39 games. |   |
