Aguilera Batters Puerto Rico Big Time Tuesday, July 21st , 2150 A jubilant Jesús Aguilera joined the postgame press conference at Tokyo Ballpark to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Puerto Rico Coqui pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the Detroit Blue Gills right fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led to the 7-3 Blue Gills win. "He made it look easy," said Kir By, manager of the Coqui. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Jesús Aguilera singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 9th and flied out in the 10th. This season, Aguilera is batting .286 with 106 hits, 16 home runs, 69 RBIs, 3 walks, .294 OBP and has scored 50 runs. He has played in 90 games. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
