Hit Parade: Valdez Pops 5 Hits
Some days you can't win for losing. Just ask Dave Valdez -- he was the King of Swing against the Tigers, but his Rays were beaten 15-12 anyway.

The Princeton second baseman had 5 chances against the Detroit (APP) and delivered 5 hits in a sensational game.

"Unbelievable feeling," he told the press. "It felt great to be hitting like that, but a downer when you look at the scoreboard. 5-for-5 does wonders for your confidence, but it's a shame we couldn't win, too."

Dave Valdez singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

This year Valdez is hitting .253, produced 38 RBIs and 6 home runs, scored 44 times and gotten on base at a .332 rate.
