 | Monday, September 21st, 2015: Mitchell Belts 5 Hits
Travis Mitchell had an answer for everything the Philadelphia Phillies threw him today in the St. Louis 6-5 triumph at Busch Stadium III. He made good contact 5 times and 5 times he drilled the ball for a base hit.
The St. Louis center fielder went 5 for 5 in the game to put his name in the record book.
Summing up his batting philosophy to BNN writers after the game, Mitchell said, "I just see the ball and I hit it."
T. Mitchell singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off M. Lewis in the 9th.
Mitchell is hitting .238 in 2015 with 8 home runs, 66 RBIs and 55 runs scored. He has 111 hits in 467 at-bats and played in 121 games.
