Question Another Journalistic Head-Scratcher

From the write-up of the Angels/Blue Jays game:

"Zaun went 2-for-5, raising his average to .452 since his recall from Triple-A Syracuse on April 27."


Huh?

Huh?

I read that as him going 2-for-5 one day, making his average for the last month .452, and thus no problem. What am I missing?
