PHILS SWEEP PIRATES. RAUUUUUUUUUL BRINGS THE POWER.
The Phillies acquired Hunter Pence on Friday and you could see the difference in the offense both Saturday and Sunday.
Pence is a solid .290 hitter with power. He should hit 20-25 homeruns when he settles into Citizen Bank Park.
Ryan Howard had the big game on Saturday going 4-4, and 39-year old Rauuuuuuuuuul Ibanez hit two homers and a walkoff double in the 10th inning.
The Phils are 68-39, 29 games over .500, their largest spread of the season.
The team flew to Denver to begin a 10-game roadtrip. They’ll play four games against the Giants beginning Thursday and a three-game series starting next Monday before they return home on August 12.
Five wins during this trip would be fine.
