Another two games played this week, another two wins for the Fighins’. The Phils handled the Marlins rather convincingly, to extend its winning streak to six, with strong pitching efforts from
Vince Velasquez and Jeremy Hellickson. Michael Saunders’ impact has been felt over the last week or so. He’s hitting .320 in his last eight games, slammed his first home run as a Phillie on Wednesday night, and avoided a tag at the plate with a tremendous slide that was ultimately the difference in a 3-2 Phillies win on Thursday.
