3-HR Binge for Ashford Against San Francisco (WIN) Tuesday, January 10th , 2045 Dwain Ashford brutalized the San Francisco (WIN) Giants pitching staff, launching three home runs in today's 10-7 victory at Scottsdale Stadium. The Seattle (WIN) Mariners first baseman was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day. "I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one." For the game, he went 3-for-5 with 6 RBIs and 3 runs scored. "Too much Dwain Ashford today," Giants manager Daric Barton said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to." Dwain Ashford grounded out in the 2nd, hit a GRAND SLAM off Rich Benoit in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off John Bittinger in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Lorenzo Merjil in the 7th and flied out in the 9th. This year Ashford has 4 home runs and a .462 batting average. |
