5-for-5 Day for Crawford
Houston Astros center fielder Carl Crawford had a day to remember at Great American Ballpark today, ripping apart the Cincinnati Reds and sparking the Astros to a 13-0 victory.

Crawford wrote his name in the record books with a 5-hit barrage, finishing his special day 5-for-5.

"I'm usually a first ball hitter," Crawford told BNN reporters in the postgame press conference. "I think pitchers think batters are going to let the first one go by. I never do. I've always found that it's better to pull the trigger early in the count. Pitchers get real nasty when they get ahead of you, so I try to avoid it."

Carl Crawford hit a two-run home run off Andrew Baldwin in the 3rd, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI triple in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

For the year Crawford is hitting .307 with 9 home runs. His stats include 64 RBI and 89 runs scored.
