Great Day for Rivera -- 5 Hits Wednesday, August 26th , 2037 A jubilant Danny Rivera joined the postgame press conference at Roger Dean Stadium to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Houston (GCL) Astros pitching staff he had just vanquished. "It may not have looked like it," said the St. Louis (GCL) Cardinals shortstop, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different." That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led to the 15-3 Cardinals win. "He made it look easy," said , manager of the Astros. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously." Danny Rivera singled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Chris Lopez in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Chris Lopez in the 6th and flied out in the 8th. This year, Rivera has hit at a .457 clip with 16 hits, 3 home runs, 8 RBIs and 13 runs scored. |
