5-for-5 Day for Mauer
It takes more than one player to win a baseball game - as proven by Joe Mauer of the Houston Astros.

The Houston first baseman gave it his all and dominated New York Mets pitching at Minute Maid Park 2000-2016, finishing with a great 5-for-5 line. However, when the game ended, the scoreboard showed the Mets going home the winner, 11-9.

"There's no point gloating about a 5-hit day in a loss," Mauer said. "A loss just means you should have done more. Maybe I should have hit 5 home runs instead."

Joe Mauer hit a solo-shot off James Paxton in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 5th, doubled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

Thus far this season in 110 games, Mauer is batting .329 with 8 home runs, 52 RBIs and 44 runs scored. He has 136 hits in 413 at-bats.
