Kuwahara Joins 3-HR Club
Tuesday, January 31st , 2045
Daytona Tortugas bombardier Yasusaburo Kuwahara set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club took a 9-1 win over the Tampa Yankees today.
"I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," Kuwahara told writers in the postgame press room. "I was ahead in the count, so I gambled that I'd get a certain pitch, and got all of it."
For the game, the Daytona shortstop had 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 4, and scored 3 runs.
Yasusaburo Kuwahara hit a solo-shot off Chris McCoy in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Chris McCoy in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Travis Tate in the 7th and flied out in the 8th.
This year Kuwahara is hitting .172 with 6 home runs and 16 RBIs to his credit. He has gotten on base at a .295 clip and scored 18 runs.
