"Hey, it's great to get that many hits in a game, but it would have been nice to win the game, too," Espinheiro said in the postgame interview. Márcio Espinheiro singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, grounded out in the 6th, singled in the 9th, tripled in the 11th and grounded out in the 13th.
