Herrera Blisters Baltimore
A jubilant Jose R Herrera joined the postgame press conference at Memorial Stadium today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Baltimore Orioles pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Detroit Tigers center fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led the Tigers to a 13-10 win.

"He made it look easy," said , manager of the Orioles. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Jose R Herrera doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.

Herrera is presently hitting at a .262 pace with no home runs and 1 RBIs. He has played in 14 games and scored 3 times.
