BOX SCORE
MIAMIEmmanuel Burriss didnt race himself into the recordbooks on Saturday. Quite the opposite, in fact.
When Burriss hustled for a double in the second inning, itwas his first extra-base hit since June 28 of last season. He had gone 149at-bats without a double, triple or home runmatching the San Francisco-erarecord for a non-pitcher set by Brett Butler in 1990. (Butler led the NL inhits that season, by the way.)

He didnt know where he stood in regards to Butler. But heknew his slugging percentage matched his average. And thats never a goodthing.
I was aware, he said, soberly. Im playing, you know?What can you say? Im trying to put a ball in play. Extra bases will come. Hitswill come. Im not swinging the bat great to begin with, but itll be there.
Now Burriss has a .208 average and a .218 sluggingpercentage.
