Cespedes Parks 3 HR in the Seats: Some days you can't have it all, as Chicago White Sox right fielder Yoelqui Cespedes discovered when he cracked three homers against the Cleveland Indians today, and still lost.
"I have mixed emotions about this game," he said. "It's great to hit three homers, but it's hard to be happy when you lose the game."
The 30-year-old got his name in the league record books, but the Indians walked away with the 15-10 triumph at Guaranteed Rate Field. Cespedes finished the day with 3 hits in 5 at-bats and 5 RBIs.
"I got three balls to hit and nailed all three of them," he said in the postgame interview.
Yoelqui Cespedes struck out in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Alex Lange in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Cody Morris in the 5th, struck out in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Chance Mako in the 8th.
In his season totals Cespedes has 11 home runs and a .236 batting average.
