Wednesday, June 9th, 2021: Ramírez Rips Cincinnati for 5 Hits
All game long Houston's Mario Ramírez was rattling the walls at Minute Maid Park and banging out base hits against the Cincinnati Reds and when the dust finally settled on the diamond, he had a career day, a 5-hit day, but no victory. The Reds defeated the Astros 8-7 to take a little of the glitter of the occasion away.

Speaking with reporters after his standout performance, the 25-year-old shortstop lamented, "To get 5 hits and win a ballgame, that would have been a very special day. But we didn't win today. It's not easy to be happy when you lose. Only losers do that."

In all, Ramírez collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats and a spot in the record book.

M. Ramírez hit a solo-shot off M. Watt in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 8th, flied out in the 9th and hit an RBI double in the 11th.

This year Ramírez is hitting .221, produced 35 RBIs and 12 home runs, scored 30 times and gotten on base at a .284 rate.

Currently Grandal is hitting .301 and has collected 15 home runs, 42 RBIs and scored 46 times, while playing in 57 games.

The Astros manager said, "It was a rough one for my guys. We weren't at our best...and their guy was."
