GONE! GONE! GONE! 3 HRs for Barraza Friday, July 1st , 2039 Houston first baseman Bob Barraza blasted three homers today at Minute Maid Park in the 12-8 Astros victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. For the game, Bob Barraza scored 4 times and knocked in 4 runs. When he hit his last home run, his teammates, hearing the crack of the bat, leaped off the bench and rushed on the field to greet the jubilant Barraza when he reached home plate. "It was just one game, but it sure was a lot of fun -- 3-for-4, three roundtrippers and a win," a gleeful Barraza told BNN reporters in a postgame interview. "What a day."
