Two Outta Fifteen Ain't Bad: Phillies 14, Mets 8

The Phillies finally broke out of their Met funk Tuesday night, with the bats waking up for a 14-8 win.

If you've written off Darin Ruf once, twice, three, maybe four times, you probably wouldn't be alone. He's had an interesting life in the Majors thus far to say the least.

One thing's for sure, though. Ruf has never gone quietly into the night. While the Phillies may never crack the code on just how and when to use him, he'll keep going out there given the chance. He did just that Tuesday night, to the tune of a career-high 6 RBI to lead the Phillies to a 14-8 victory over a Mets team that has bested them all year long.
