You know who wasn’t in a celebratory Cinco de Mayo mood on Tuesday? Rangers second baseman Delino DeShields Jr. And with a slash line of .143/.217/.238, who could blame him? Luckily, he was able to take out some frustration on his former team’s (Astros) mascot, Orbit.
As you can see below, Orbit was all about celebrating Mexican pride:

Unfortunately, once he went next level with the piñata, DeShields decided to make his presence known with his best hit of the year:

As an added bonus for DeShields, that might be one of the best bat flips of the season.
