Both of his knocks were singles.

Our View: LaRoche remains hot after hitting .321 in September. He ended a three-game skid without an RBI as well.

LaRoche stays hot Andy LaRoche went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles on Tuesday, but the Pirates were shut out 6-0 by the Chicago Cubs.

Our View: LaRoche has been tearing the cover off the ball the last week and during a six-game hitting streak is batting .520 with six doubles, three homers and nine RBI. Now that's a hot streak.

Dodgers Repay LaRoche For Trading Him To Pirates Yesterday, Andy LaRoche made a last ditch effort for some of his parents’ love.  He went 5-for-5, with 2 homers, 4 Runs and 6 RBIs.  He had his best month of the season in September and he’ll still be 26 next year.  I might actually own Pirate players next year.  Weird!  BTW, the Pirates [...] http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Andy_Laroche/554733 554733 Tue, 29 Sep 2009 3:04:01 EDT razzball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Andy_Laroche/554733 LaRoche mashed two homers, two doubles and a single Monday afternoon, going 5-for-5 with six RBI against LaRoche mashed two homers, two doubles and a single Monday afternoon, going 5-for-5 with six RBI against the Dodgers.

LaRoche, traded to the Pirates in the three-team deal last year in which Los Angeles landed Manny Ramirez, had never had more than three hits or three RBI in a game. LaRoche had a two-run double off Hiroki Kuroda (8-7) during the Pirates' big second inning that began with Loretta's throwing error on Lastings Milledge's grounder. LaRoche had a chance for the cycle his final two times up. He rounded second sharply and thought about trying to advance after he doubled to center in the sixth, but pulled up. He hit a two-run homer in the eighth.

He set a career high for hits and also scored four runs in the game. LaRoche had never had more than three hits or three RBIs in a game in his career. He now has 11 home runs on the season. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Andy_Laroche/553775 553775 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:16:01 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Andy_Laroche/553775 LaRoche's monster day leads Pirates Andy LaRoche had a monster game on Monday afternoon as the Pirates rocked the Dodgers 11-1. LaRoche went 5-for-5 with two doubles, two home runs, four runs scored, and six RBI.

Our View: Now that's a fantasy performance. LaRoche was absolutely dialed in today, and everything he hit did something productive. Don't expect much more of this from LaRoche, but a game like this has to give Pirate fans hope that he can begin to live up to his potential.
