Luis Arraez of the Marlins goes five for five in an 11-0 win over the Blue Jays. That pulls his batting average back to the .400 level. My generous estimate of the probability of him hitting .400 stands at 0.0033, the highest it’s been this season.
The game also represents a rarity, giving Arraez three games with at least five hits this season. That’s only the twenty second time a player had that many five-hit games in a season from 1920 on. Four of those players reached four games with five hits; Ty Cobb in 1922, Stan Musial in 1948, Tony Gwynn in 1993, and Ichiro Suzuki in 2004. Arraez could be in some very rare air if he can record another five hit game.
