Washington 5-for-5 Against Orioles
Getting 5 hits in a game has always been memorable feat in baseball. In the Kansas City's 12-7 win over Baltimore, first baseman Joe Washington was red-hot, scorching them for hit after hit at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

"To hit the ball consistently well, you have to relax," Washington said afterward. "I was relaxed for the first four hits, but I have to admit, I got a little tight when I realized I had a chance for five. On the last at-bat, I was ready to swing at anything close."

Joe Washington singled in the 1st, singled in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Tanner Chleborad in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

For the season, Washington is currently batting .299 with 5 home runs and 19 RBIs. In 30 games he has reached base at a .331 rate and scored 23 runs to date.
