 | Friday, June 4th, 2021: Cornman on Fire, 5-5 Against Cleveland
It was a good day for the Twins at The Metrodome as they clipped the Cleveland Indians 9-3. It was tremendous day for Raymond Cornman, who went on quite a hitting spree with a 5 for 5 barrage.
The Minnesota left fielder told reporters after his big 5-hit performance, "I don't have any buzz words. I'm not 'dialed in' or 'in a zone,' as they say. As far as the hitting goes, I try to keep it simple. I try not to look into it too much. Basically the pitcher throws the ball, I try to pick up the spin, then try to hit it. Today I picked up the spin very well."
R. Cornman singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off E. Santana in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
This season Cornman is batting .358 with 82 hits, 18 home runs, 60 RBIs, .423 OBP and has scored 48 runs.
