Silva Batters Kingston Big Time Thursday, May 31st , 2063 Even as a kid, Gilberto Silva said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Megaffin Park, Silva showed how well he learned that lesson. The 32-year-old right fielder had 5 hits in 5 at-bats for the Detroit Rock City, helping his team knock off the Kingston Ponies by a score of 9-2. "They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did." Gilberto Silva hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Chris Jackson in the 5th, doubled in the 8th and hit a solo-shot off Chan-seok Yi in the 9th. This season, Silva is hitting .295 with 13 home runs. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
