 | Suitani Is King of Swing: Goes Deep 3 Times Saturday, April 18th, 2015 Kazuyoshi Suitani was sending souvenirs to the sun gods all game long in the Fort Worth 19-12 triumph over El Paso, launching not one, not two, but three home runs into the stands. Nobody who was at Hell Stadium will forget this home run outburst anytime soon. The Fort Worth right fielder went 3-5, rung up 6 RBIs and scored 3 runs on his record-setting day. He told the press corps after his three home run binge, "One homer's good, two's great, three's out of sight. I can't wait until tomorrow's game. I really feel good at the plate." Kazuyoshi Suitani grounded out in the 1st, struck out in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Mike Owens in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Jim Simmons in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Ángel Reyes in the 8th. This year Suitani is batting .444 with 9 home runs and 17 RBIs. |   |
