Home Run of the Day – 4/01 – Josh Hamilton
Posted by: Richie Rich in 2008 MLB, Home Run of the Day, Mariners, Rangers
Things were looking good for the Seattle Mariners. Top of the ninth inning, one run lead … and the Mariners’ closer, JJ Putz (the reigning AL Rolaids Relief Man of the Year) was looking to close the door.
At bat is Josh Hamilton, who struck out against Putz to end yesterday’s game.
Mr. Soul Patch goes back to the fastball that Hamilton whiffed on the night before …
Hamilton went 2 for 5 with 2 Runs and 2 RBI. He also made a great play in the field, saving a run when he made a over-the -shoulder basket catch at the waring tracj in the fifth inning.
Last year, the M’s were 75-0 when leading after 8 innings. This season, they’re 1-1.
