Almirón Torches Nationals for 5 Hits
Some moments become linked with a particular player's career forever. Ernesto Almirón of the Philadelphia Phillies had one of those moments when he went 5-for-6 at the plate in his team's 18-0 win over the Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park.

"I won't forget this anytime soon, and I don't expect it to happen too often," the 23-year-old second baseman told reporters in the postgame interview. "I'll be happy to just get a hit or two every day. Enough to hang around the league a while longer. Like 10, maybe 15 more years."

Ernesto Almirón singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off José Vargas in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off José Vargas in the 6th, grounded out in the 7th and hit an RBI double in the 8th.

This season, Almirón is batting .366 with 26 hits, 3 home runs, 10 RBIs, 10 walks, .452 OBP and has scored 13 runs. He has played in 20 games.
