Aherns Gets #400 Monday, July 25th , 2039 St. Louis defeated San Diego today 6-5 and took some of the joy out of Ethan Aherns's 400th career home run. "I just wanted to get a good swing on the ball all day," Aherns said. "And I did." Despite the loss, it was a good game for the 36-year-old Padres third baseman. He had 2 hits, scored 1 run and had 3 runs batted in. The Cardinals manager said, "You could see he was aggressive up there. The worst thing we did was throw him a strike. It probably would have been better if we threw the ball outside of the strike zone every time he came to the plate because he seemed like he was in a hurry to get it over with." Looking at his career numbers, Aherns has played in 1787 games with a .254 batting average. Among his 1735 hits are 370 doubles, 13 triples and 400 home runs. He has also scored 965 runs and driven in 1080 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
