 | Tuesday, May 18th, 2021: Byrd on Fire, 5-5 Against Oakland
It was a good day for the Rangers at The Ballpark at Arlington as they clipped the Oakland Athletics 14-4. It was tremendous day for Samuel Byrd, who went on quite a hitting spree with a 5 for 5 barrage.
The Texas right 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."
S. Byrd singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off R. Platt in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off A. Braley in the 7th and walked in the 9th.
Posting a .435 batting average to date, Byrd has 15 home runs and 44 RBIs.
