[情報] Liddi smacks three homers

[fox391823 (九尾狐)]

Tacoma's Alex Liddi covered his bases -- all the bases.

Liddi collected the first three-homer game of his six-year career Thursday,
going deep to all three fields against three different hurlers as part of the
the Rainiers' 12-4 rout of the host Albuquerque Isotopes.
The Italian-born Liddi became the 14th Minor Leaguer this season to lift
three longballs in one game and the second so far this month. Rookie-level
Orem's C.J. Cron accomplished the feat in Ogden on Tuesday.

Liddi took Tim Sexton (3-6) to center field in the third inning, David
Pfeiffer to left in the sixth and Roy Corcoran to right in the eighth. How
was he able to go with the outside offering and pull his hands in on time for
the inside pitch?

"It was just one of those days," he said.

And he was due for one. Liddi, who turns 23 on Aug. 14, entered Thursday
batting .167 over his past 11 games to drop his season average to .254.

Add in his fourth-inning single, and he ended up 4-for-6 overall with five
RBIs and four runs scored. Seattle's farmhand -- he joined the organization
as a free agent in September 2005 and was a Futures Game selection last month
-- fell one hit shy matching of a second career best. While playing for Class
A Wisconsin, now a Brewers affiliate, the right-handed swinger went 5-for-5.

"I was just thinking, 'Put the ball in play,' because lately I have been
struggling a lot, striking out," said Liddi, whose 137 whiffs this season
lead the Pacific Coast League. "When I got the first home run, I got more
confidence."

The infielder also made a physical adjustment prior to his breakout game,
taking a step back in the batter's box.

"I was trying to get off the plate a little more, to see breaking pitches
better," said Liddi, who struck a slider for his first dinger. "I was talking
with our hitting coach, and he helped me with that."

Wily Mo Pena's presence couldn't have hurt either. The Mariners signed the
29-year-old slugger July 27, and he homered twice Thursday. He went
back-to-back with Liddi in the the third, then launched a three-run blast in
the fourth.

"They probably prefer to face me rather than him," said Liddi, who batted
third, one spot ahead of his new teammate.

Liddi and Pena both have 24 home runs this season, which is good for
fourth-most among PCL hitters. That number is a new single-season career high
for the former, whose excitement is tempered by his recent slide.

"I have figured out some things," he said, "but I have to be more consistent,
less up-and-down."

Pena went 3-for-5 with four RBIs, Carlos Peguero went 4-for-5 and Luis
Rodriguez went 3-for-6 to pilot the Rainiers' 20-hit parade.

恭喜Liddi這是他6年職業生涯的第一次單場3轟，4-6 R:4 RBI:5 看得出來他今年遭遇
蠻大的困境，希望這場的好表現，能打通他的任督二脈，可以接下Edgar的棒子，雖然
他今年領了137K = = 。同場的隊友Wily Mo Pena:3-5 HR:2 R:2 RBI:4 ，自7/30來到
Tacoma以後，AVG:.381 OBP:.500 SLG:.857 OPS:1.357 重點是 K:6 BB:4 雖然樣本數
還太少，不過希望他真的選球能開眼。另外，Peguero回Tacoma的成績也是超鬼神的，
為啥一上Safeco就.....。
