Tigers Pitching Ravaged by Martínez Tuesday, August 22nd, 2023 5 hits in a game has always been a magic number in baseball. Only a handful of players will do that. Get 5 hits in a game, and you get your moment of glory, your fifteen minutes of fame -- you get your name in the record book. In the Death Stars 17-1 win over Lee's Summit, Jorge Martínez was red-hot today, scorching them for hit after hit at The Den. "To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax. I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I must admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for a 5-hit game. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close." On his big day Martínez delivered 5 hits in 6 at-bats. Jorge Martínez grounded out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and hit an RBI triple in the 8th. For the season Martínez has produced 69 hits in 309 at-bats for a .223 average with 1 home run and gotten on base at a .299 clip. |
