Two years into a five-year, $64 million contract, Adrian Beltre has produced a .262 average, 44 home runs, and 176 RBIs. However, after the All Star break in 2006, Beltre slugged .552 with a whopping 18 home runs. Does this strong second half bode well for a turn-around in 2007, or will Mariners fans have to deal with 'A-Drain' once again? This blog intends to follow the 2007 season for Adrian Beltre, and the Seattle Mariners, and promises to hold no punches.
ADRIAN BELTRE HIT A HOME RUN!
That's right, Adrian Beltre ended his season-long homerless streak at 85 at-bats with a lead-off home run off in the eighth inning off Baltimore reliever Sendy Rleal in today's 8-6 win over the Orioles. Beltre's home run completed the scoring of the game, and continued Beltre's streak of clutch hitting with the bases empty.
Could this be a corner turned by Beltre? The beauty of having this blog called "Bad Bad Beltre" is that if suddenly gets hot, Beltre would be "bad' in a whole different connotation.
The Mariners now have video of Beltre's blast on his page. Check it out.
The Mariners were able to beat the Orioles due to a 6-run sixth inning, their biggest inning of the year. During that inning, Beltre was right in the thick of things, coaxing a two-out walk from Orioles reliever Jim Brower- in for Bruce Chen who had stymied the Mariners up until that inning- to keep the inning going and eventually scored on a two-run single by Yuniensky Betancourt.
Beltre's final line: 3-2-1-1, bringing his average to .198 and his home run brought his OPS to .540.
So, congratulations on your home run, Beltre! Looking forward to your next one, coming May 25th against the Orioles!
