Red-Hot Coomer Scorches Diamondbacks
Ron Coomer was on fire, sparking his club to a win, 12-8, over the Diamondbacks. The Houston third baseman was a tough out and went 5-for-5 against Arizona in a fine hitting display.

"I got my pitches and I connected. They all found the right holes on the diamond. Some days you hit shots and they're right at somebody and some days they fall in."

Ron Coomer singled in the 2nd, doubled in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.

Currently Coomer has 5 home runs and a .314 batting average.
