Hernandez providing surprising pop for Phillies
Cesar Hernandez talks about his go-ahead home run and the Phillies' three home runs to open up the game in the 8th inning"Don't change anything," he said after Sunday afternoon's 5-2 victory over the Braves at Citizens Bank Park.
Hernandez ignited a big rally in the eighth inning that helped the Phillies sweep Atlanta and improve to 9-9. He hit a two-run home run to right-center field against Arodys Vizcaino to hand the Phillies a 3-1 lead. Aaron Altherr and Odubel Herrera each followed with solo homers, making it the first time the Phillies have hit back-to-back-to-back home runs since Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell did it June 13, 2008, in St. Louis.
