| 5-for-5 Day for Acevedo Thursday, July 22nd , 2027 It doesn't happen very often, but it did for Alex Acevedo -- a 5-hit day. He went on a rampage and sparkled on the diamond at Queens Field, but the performance lost a little luster when the Queens were downed, 14-4, by the Phoenix Firebirds.
After his glittering performance, the Denver first baseman told the press that he "just tried to get myself in a good count and have a good at-bat."
His batting theory paid dividends today as he slammed 5 hits in 5 tries and put his name in the record book.
"I just wish we had added a win in the record book, too," Acevedo said.
Alex Acevedo hit an RBI single in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jesus Alaniz in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
To date this year, Acevedo is batting .278 with 22 home runs.
