García Crushes 3 Homers Against Dr. Pepper Wednesday, January 3rd , 2057 Fans seated in the bleacher section at Ibises Ballpark were taking cover all day long as Miguel García zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. The big game from the Shell Oil second baseman helped the Royals take the victory, 18-4, over the Dr. Pepper Surg. "I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game, he collected 4 hits in 6 at-bats, drove in 5 and scored 3 runs. Miguel García flied out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Manny Torres in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Diego Ortega in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Jesús González in the 8th. |
