Vasquez Has Hot Hand, Bangs 5 hits Tuesday, June 21st , 2039 Even as a kid, Juan Vasquez said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Dodger Stadium today, Vasquez showed how well he learned that lesson. The 32-year-old second baseman had 5 hits in 5 at-bats for the Los Angeles Dodgers, helping his team knock off the Texas Rangers by a score of 9-7. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did today." Juan Vasquez singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, tripled in the 7th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. This season in 68 games Vasquez is batting .254 with 5 home runs, 24 RBIs and has scored 53 times. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
