| Sunday, August 21st, 2022: Hot Bat of Ramos Burns Padres
Felipe Ramos told the press after his 5-hit day, "Every batter wants to have a quality at-bat every time he steps up to the plate. He wants to hit the ball hard."
Well, that's just what Ramos of the Houston Astros did against the San Diego Padres. He went to the plate 5 times and 5 times he delivered base hits, much to the chagrin of the Padres, who suffered a 21-4 defeat.
"Not much that I can say," offered the losing manager, "he just hammered the heck out of us."
F. Ramos doubled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off D. Barnes in the 6th and walked in the 7th.
This season Ramos has hit at a .303 clip with 75 RBIs, 10 home runs and 122 runs scored. He has played in 116 games.
