Baez Swats 3 HR Against Atlanta (FCL) Wednesday, May 22nd , 2024 Pittsburgh (FCL) Pirates second baseman Juan Baez sensed he was going to have a good day at the plate, but he still might have underestimated it a little. Prior to the start of today's contest with the Atlanta (FCL) Braves, Baez told teammates he was sure he would hit a home run. He did -- three times. "During batting practice I really had my swing down pat," he recalled. "I felt some thunder in the lumber." The big day from Baez pushed the Pirates past the Braves, 13-7. To go along with the homers, he collected 6 RBIs and scored 3 runs. "I was seeing good, feeling good and swinging good," Baez told reporters after the game. Juan Baez walked in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Steven Echavarria in the 3rd, struck out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Garrett Edwards in the 7th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Izack Tiger in the 7th. Baez on the season is batting .364 with 6 home runs. His totals include 19 RBIs and 13 runs scored. He has played in 15 games. |
