Melendez on Fire, 5-for-5 Against Greensboro
A jubilant Jose Melendez joined the postgame press conference at NewBridge Bank Park today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Greensboro Grasshoppers pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Atlanta (MID) Braves center fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led the Braves to a 7-1 win.

"He made it look easy," said Julio Pina, manager of the Grasshoppers. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Jose Melendez doubled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Melvin Castro in the 8th.

Thus far in 2047 Melendez is hitting .351 with 6 home runs, 30 RBIs, 39 runs scored and has compiled a .435 OBP.
