DENVER - The baseball finally came to a landing on Friday night, crashing into the last rows of the lower bowel at Coors Field. Tommy Joseph's towering home run was measured at 455 feet. And for the Phillies, it triggered a 5-3 win over Colorado and brought a measure of momentum as they play out the final stretch of the season's first half.
Joseph's three-run homer in the seventh inning capped a four-run rally. It was the team's first pinch-hit homer of the season. It was Phillies longest home run since Cameron Rupp hit a 461-foot blast last August.
