Mets' Yoenis Cespdes explodes with career-night on Friday
Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes had a huge night at the plate in Friday's 14-9 thrashing of the Rockies. Cespedes went 5 for 6 with three home runs, seven RBI, five runs scored, a double and a stolen base.
Cespedes took full advantage of the thin air in Coors Field, as he recorded career-highs in hits, home runs and RBI in this one. He entered the game with two home runs since joining the Mets at last month's trade deadline. The three longballs give him 23 on the year.
Cespedes crushed a grand slam--the second of his career--in the second inning. He added a solo shot in the fourth and a two-run bomb in the sixth. He attempted to become the first player in MLB history to hit a home run cycle (a solo home run, two-run homer, three-run shot and grand slam), but he fell just short of that feat.
