Mike Random Rockets 3 Home Runs
Friday, June 16th , 2023
Mike Random brutalized the Tampa Bay Captains pitching staff, launching three home runs in the 14-8 Toronto victory at Ahoy Park. The Toronto Trash Pandas shortstop was red-hot, the ball just exploding off his bat all day.
"I don't try to hit homers," he said later. "I try to go out there and put a good swing on the ball, and sometimes it is going to go out of the park. I didn't try to hit the first one or the second one or the third one."
For the game, he went 3-for-5 with 7 RBIs and 4 runs scored.
"Too much Mike Random today," Captains manager Erik Thames said. "That's my assessment of the game. That's what our problems boiled down to."
Mike Random hit a two-run home run off Carlos Barraza in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Carlos Barraza in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Matt Jackson in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th, grounded out in the 7th and walked in the 9th.
In 65 games Random is hitting .228 this season with 53 hits, 6 home runs, 36 RBIs, 22 walks, .308 OBP and has scored 20 runs.
