(The Sports Xchange) - Zack Greinke shined on Thursday, but not the way he normally does.

In fact, the National League Cy Young Award favorite had his worst start of the season on the mound.

But as he struggled with his pitching, he made up for it at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a home run and three runs scored to help the Los Angeles Dodgers outslug the Philadelphia Phillies 10-8.

"He can swing the bat, that's for sure," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said.
