Lou Brown Rockets 3 Home Runs: Lou Brown brutalized the Washington Nationals pitching staff, launching three home runs in today's 12-4 victory at Citizens Bank Park. The Philadelphia Phillies left fielder was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day.
"I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one."
For the game, he went 4-for-5 with 5 RBIs and 3 runs scored.
"Too much Lou Brown today," Nationals manager Mike Matheny said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to."
Lou Brown hit a solo-shot off John Gant in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Steve Black in the 3rd, hit a three-run home run off Steve Black in the 4th, singled in the 6th and flied out in the 8th.
