Thome 5-for-5 Against Minnesota 1991
Saturday, June 28th , 2025
Cleveland 1995 third baseman Jim Thome could do no wrong in his team's 10-3 win over the Twins, as he collected 5 hits.
"Things were in his favor in every one of his at-bats," Twins skipper Kelly Audia said to the press corps after the game. "He got hitters' counts."
Thome agreed, saying that getting ahead early in the counts was "the key" to his game.
"Once you get ahead, it makes it a lot easier because you get a better pitch to hit," he said. "You know the pitcher has to come in with it. And you're ready."
Jim Thome hit a solo-shot off Kevin Tapani in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Kevin Tapani in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit a three-run double in the 8th.
Thome is hitting .287 for the season with 12 home runs, 51 RBIs and 49 runs scored. He has 86 hits in 300 at-bats and played in 82 games.

Price Shackles Texas 1999
Friday, June 27th , 2025
The Texas 1999 Rangers had no answer for Tampa Bay 2013 Rays pitcher David Price. They failed to score a single run against him, losing, 4-0. Texas 1999 managed only 4 hits off Price, who had 4 strikeouts.
The extraordinarily popular Price got a standing ovation from the hometown crowd as he left the field, the applause continuing until he returned from the dugout to tip his cap to the crowd.
"Rays fans are the best fans, in my opinion," he said. "It's a great feeling to throw a shutout under any circumstances, but to do it with the crowd behind you like that is just incredible."
This year, Price has a 5-8 record and a 5.72 ERA.
