His Day
Backup catcher Jesus Flores continues to play a good rookie season. Never getting above A ball for the Mets, Flores went two for three today with two RBI to help Washington to a 6-4 win over the Marlins. He's now hitting .321 with a .424 OBA. He's 22 and never posted a good OBA in the minors. However, in 2006 he knocked out over 50 extra-base hits for an isolated power over 200. Just maybe the Nationals found a hidden gem here.
No home runs in the game, so no contribution to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

If you want to get technical about it, Ryan Zimmerman hit his walk-off grand slam in last night's game at about 1:40AM, making it a Mother's Day roundtripper. Perhaps that should count?
(If so, it means he's completed the Parental Cycle, since he hit a walkoff against the Yanks on Father's Day last year.)
