Jason Bay is greeted by his teammates as he enters the dugout after hitting a solo home run against the Padres in the sixth inning of last night's 4-1 win at PNC Park.
Left fielder Jason Bay's monstrous weekend in Cincinnati helped win him National League player of the week honors yesterday.
He was 10 for 20 for the week and had two home runs and 10 RBIs, bringing an astronomical slugging percentage of .950 and an equally impressive on-base percentage of .571. And this despite going 2 for 10 with five strikeouts in St. Louis, just before arriving in Cincinnati.
Bay expressed hope that, even with the change in venue yesterday, he can extend his run.
"If you play in a place that's hitter-friendly, it does well for your statistics," he said. "But, when you leave there, you can take it with you. You're not thinking about deep flyouts to the track or scuffling in any way. It's a positive feeling."
Bay has been player of the week four times in his career.
