Yerges Smacks 3 Out of the Park Monday, August 28th , 2079 Bigger paychecks might be in the offing if Dave Yerges continues to hit like he did today against the Tucson Toros. The Kansas City Athletics left fielder crushed three into the stands at Ballpark of Missouri in a remarkable performance, propelling the Athletics to a win, 9-3, over the Tucson Toros. "If you want to get paid in this league, you've gotta earn it," he said later. "I earned my paycheck today." He tagged 3 hits in 4 at-bats, drove in 7 runs and scored 3 times. "We made three mistakes and he made us pay each time," Tucson manager Rick Barnes said later. Dave Yerges flied out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Dan Haferkamp in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Dan Haferkamp in the 5th and hit a GRAND SLAM off Miguel Moquete in the 6th.
