Gomez Rockets 3 HR Against Philadelphia Wednesday, August 17th , 2039 It was a good day for the New York Mets and an exceptional one for Luis Gomez. The 24-year-old catcher sent three bombs out of the park to help the Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 at Citizens Bank Park. "When you're in the zone, the game really slows down," Gomez said when asked about his performance later. "I couldn't even tell you what pitches were thrown. Today feels great, but it is a long season and tomorrow is another day." For the day, he scored 3 times, drove in 3 runs and smacked 3 hits in 4 at-bats. Luis Gomez hit a solo-shot off Tony Suarez in the 2nd, flied out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Art Horner in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Dan Furrow in the 9th. This season Gomez has delivered 16 hits in 81 at-bats for a .198 average with 5 home runs. He is getting on base at a .226 clip and his totals also include 7 RBIs and 10 runs scored. This year Gomez has played in 23 games. |
