MIAMI (CBSMiami) – After a rough couple of months for the Miami Marlins’ resident senior citizen, Ichiro Suzuki has been showing signs of life at the plate.
After bottoming out at .148 in late May, his average has finally crossed onto the good side of the Mendoza line earlier this month after a string of six hits in 11 at bats.
Unfortunately, in the 11 at bats since then he’s gone hitless. Ichiro’s average is now sitting right at .200 following an 0-for-4 day at the plate on Sunday.
He also started in center field on Sunday, which marked another historical achievement for the future Hall of Famer.
