Orren Powers 3 HR Against Houston Wednesday, April 27th , 2061 Today was a special one for Mark Orren of the Atlanta Braves as he slammed three home runs in the 11-0 Braves win over the Houston Astros. "Lately, I've been uppercutting the ball too much," he said to sportswriters after the game. "I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark. No big long outs for me in this game. I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot. I knew they were gone the minute I hit 'em." The Atlanta second baseman collected 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 5, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Minute Maid Park. Mark Orren grounded out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Aydan Ambrosino in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Edgar Bess in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Edgar Bess in the 7th and struck out in the 9th. At the moment, Orren is batting .273 with 8 home runs and 15 RBIs. He has played in 21 games and scored 15 times. |
