Giesbrecht Tags 3 HR Against Astros Wednesday, August 12th , 2048 Today was a special one for John Giesbrecht of the Texas Rangers as he slammed three home runs in the 4-3 win over the Houston Astros. "Lately, I've been uppercutting the ball too much," he said to sportswriters after the game. "I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark. No big long outs for me in this game. I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot. I knew they were gone the minute I hit 'em." The Texas second baseman collected 3 hits in 3 at-bats, drove in 3, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Globe Life Park in Arlington. John Giesbrecht hit a solo-shot off Moises Hernandez Jr. in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Moises Hernandez Jr. in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Moises Hernandez Jr. in the 5th and walked in the 7th. This season in 75 games Giesbrecht is batting .290 with 19 home runs, 49 RBIs and has scored 44 times. |
