Outfield provides the power as Phillies split doubleheader with Padres

PHILADELPHIA – Home runs have been hard to come by in bunches for the Phillies.

The team set a season high in home runs in a game with five last Friday in Atlanta. It was the first time the Phillies hit more than three home runs in a game this season.

The Phillies, who are 16th in MLB in home runs, are hoping that the warmer weather leads to more power.

Wednesday’s game two 5-1 win over the San Diego Padres marked only the seventh time the Phillies have hit multiple home runs in a game since the beginning of June.
