How rare is it to have two five-hit games in three games?

I'm hoping I can have the NL batting champ on this particular team for the second straight year - I picked up Jeff McNeil last year as a free agent at the start of the season. I guess batting champions are not in particularly high demand anymore.

The game is so different, even from 15 years ago. It warms my heart to see a guy like Arraez, I think we were spoiled with so many high average hitters for so long! I even remember, what seems like not too long ago, Chipper Jones flirting with .400 at his age 36 season. Hard to not look at the past and long for yesteryear when we see some of these pitiful batting averages of today.
