Ian Desmond Demolishes Braves
6 years agoColorado Rockies first baseman/outfielder Ian Desmond still hasn't hit a home run since July 22, but a bases-loaded triple led the way to a five-RBI outburst in a shellacking of Atlanta on Friday. Desmond drilled the bases-clearing triple in the third inning to help give the Rockies a lead, and they never looked back. A two-run single in the eighth inning with the bases loaded again put the cherry on top. Desmond's been mired in a terrible slump as of late, recording just six hits in his last 38 at-bats, but hopefully this game will help him break out of it. His season numbers of 19 home runs and 14 stolen bases can't be denied, but the .234 batting average has been an anchor weighing him down all year.
