Four-bagger Feast: Thomas Slugs 3 for Oakland: Today was a special one for Ben Thomas of the Oakland Athletics as he slammed three home runs in the 6-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels.
"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 Oakland first baseman collected 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 5, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Angel Stadium of Anaheim.
Ben Thomas hit a solo-shot off Tom Timmons in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Tom Timmons in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Tom Timmons in the 5th and flied out in the 7th.
So far this year Thomas is batting .323 with 7 home runs.
