KANSAS CITY, Mo. Alejandro De Aza Mets Jersey . -- Lonnie Chisenhalls bat is headed to the Hall of Fame. He just hopes he doesnt break his other one. The Indians third baseman went 5 for 5 and hit three homers while driving in nine runs in a 17-7 rout of Texas on Monday night. By the time he arrived in Kansas City for Tuesday nights game, he was told that the folks in Cooperstown wanted to retire his bat for posterity. The only problem with the gesture? "I only have two of the model I use," Chisenhall said with a grin. "Im going to have to make it through these next six games with one bat." No worries -- teammate Michael Brantley has offered to loan out some of his stock. According to Major League Baseball, Chisenhall became the first player to go 5 for 5 with three homers and nine RBIs since the RBI became a statistic in 1920. The only other major league players to have at least five hits, nine RBIs and three homers in a game were the Dodgers Gil Hodges, the Reds Walker Cooper and the Red Soxs Fred Lynn. It was also the first three-homer game by an Indians player since Shin-Soo Choo in 2010, and the second nine-RBI game in franchise history. Chris James accomplished the feat on May 4, 1991. "I think its kind of neat. Im sure Lonnie got a huge kick out of that," said Indians manager Terry Francona, who has donated several items to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum from when he managed the Red Sox to two World Series triumphs. "Hes got two kids, so one day hell be able to take them and show them, Hey, this is what your dad did," said the Indians Mike Aviles. "Thats pretty cool." Chisenhalls big day started with a seemingly innocent RBI single in the first inning. He hit the first of his homers, a two-run run shot, in the second. He added another homer in the fourth, hit an RBI double in the sixth and capped it all off with a three-run shot in the eighth. It was the first nine-RBI game since Carlos Delgado in 2008, and the first time a player hit three homers with that many RBIs since Alex Rodriguez did it in 2005. The performance, the second five-hit game of Chisenhalls season, also boosted the 25-year-old infielders batting average to .385. Hed also hit seven homers and driven in 32 runs heading into the opener of a two-game series against the Royals. Chisenhall said what he had accomplished hadnt sunk in until he arrived in Kansas City. "It was such a fast day," he said, pointing out that the team left Texas for Kansas City right after the game, and didnt arrive in town until the wee hours of the morning. "Maybe Ill get a chance to sit back and watch the game myself someday and enjoy it." Neil Walker Jersey . At a news conference ahead of Wednesdays game against Rennes, Blanc said he will sign a new contract "when were champions," adding "its a matter of principle" not to sign anything before the title has been won. Steven Matz Mets Jersey . Federer, who only arrived in Australia on Wednesday after a grueling U.S. Open semifinal loss, began slowly on the grass court at Royal Sydney Golf Club before taking the the second-set tiebreaker and then breaking Hewitt in the first game of the third. (Sports Network) - Mat Latos shoots for his third straight win this evening when the San Diego Padres wrap up a four-game set with the Houston Astros at Petco Park. After losing his first five decisions, Latos won for the third time in his last four starts on Tuesday in Atlanta, as he allowed two runs and five hits in six innings, lowering his earned run average in the process to 3.97. He was stressed a couple of times ... and made some pitches, Padres manager Bud Black said of his ace, who also walked four. It wasnt smooth sailing from the outset. He sort of backed himself into a corner with some 0-2 walks. But I thought his slider was a good pitch tonight. You saw the good, hard slider with good depth that the Braves hitters swung over. Latos lost to the Astros back on April 16, but is 2-1 in three starts against them and has pitched to a 2.01 ERA in those outings. Houston will hand the ball to young Jordan Lyles, who will be making his second big league start. Lyles did not get a decision on Tuesday in Chicago, but he pitched well, allowing just two runs and five hits in seven innings. He also struck out five without walking a batter, but the Astros scored just once with him on the hill before rallying for six runs in the ninth to pull out the win. Jordan threw a great game and we wanted to go out there and put up some more runs for him, said Asttros first baseman Brett Wallace. Yoenis Cespedes Jersey. He came out and was in control out there. That was fun to see. He looked fearless out there and that was awesome to play behind. We definitely wanted to try and make a little run for him, because he didnt deserve the loss there for sure. Lyles, who wont turn 21 until October 19, is the youngest active player in the league. On Saturday, Rob Johnson and Brad Hawpe knocked in two runs apiece as San Diego held on for a 6-3 win. Aaron Harang (6-2) went 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks as the Padres won for the sixth time in their last eight tries and picked up consecutive wins at home for the first time since September 24-25 of last season. It was good to see contributions from a number of guys as we move down the order, said San Diego manager Bud Black. Aneury Rodriguez (0-3) was once again denied his first major league win, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks through six innings for the Astros, who dropped their second game in a row after a four-game win streak. He worked out of some jams where they could have come up with a hit and really extended the innings, said Houston manager Brad Mills about his starting pitcher. San Diego has won four of its seven meetings with the Astros this season and has beaten then in seven of the last 10 overall matchups. Cheap Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From ChinaAuthentic China Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
