Kiner-Falefa Tags Cubs for 5 Hits
Isiah Kiner-Falefa exploded for a barrage of base hits at Wrigley Field 1979-2005.

The New York shortstop had a field day in his team's 10-5 triumph over the Chicago Cubs, finishing 5-for-6.

"My hitting philosophy is simple," he said. "I focus on just seeing the ball and I try to get a good pitch."

Kiner-Falefa must have focused at least 5 times and apparently got some good pitches, too, leading to one of his best days ever with the bat. Isiah Kiner-Falefa singled in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

Kiner-Falefa is hitting .300 this season with 1 home run, 1 RBIs and 6 runs scored. He has 12 hits in 40 at-bats.
