Belle goes 3-for-4 in Birmingham Win
The Birmingham Black Barons beat the Homestead Grays, 8-5, at Forbes Field. Albert Belle, in particular, was impressive. He was 3-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Alejandro Peña got credit for the win, improving to 3-4. He allowed 3 runs on 4 hits in 7 innings. With the win, the Black Barons are 21-39.

Birmingham used a clutch at-bat from Troy Tulowitzki to capture the win. The shortstop hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Black Barons ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Tulowitzki.
