Mariners right fielder Willie Bloomquist went 1 for 4 at the plate in Seattle's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays on Saturday. Bloomquist did his damage in the third inning when he belted a double off of Mark Buehrle, scoring two runs.
"It felt great. I'm not going to lie," Bloomquist said to MLB.com. "It's been a little bit of a battle for me so far this year, but to come up with a big hit in a big situation right there was obviously that we needed today as a team. And for me, personally, it felt pretty good."
Bloomquist is now hitting .184 with three RBI in 38 at-bats this season.
"I don't hit too many of them, but I did think I got that one," said Bloomquist. "I thought I got enough of it. But you hear the thump against the wall, and you're like, 'C'mon, really?' Then I watched the replay, and we're talking less than a foot. I'm heading to the weight room right now to get another set in."
