A couple of Phils notes after a busy weekend in Philly sports:
*Phils avoid sweep: Thanks to Chase Utley's bat and some timely fielding by Eric Bruntlett, the Phillies manged to beat the Mets 5-4 yesterday to avoid getting swept. Utley hit two homers, driving in four runs with two swings of the bat.
I am getting increasingly worried with the Phillies reliance on hitting home runs to generate offense. All five runs yesterday came from homers, and while they can hit homers at a staggering rate when they play at home, they will need to figure out other ways to score, especially when playing in less hitter-friendly parks on the road.
*Rollins put on DL: The injury woes at the top of the line-up continue to linger. Jimmy Rollins was originally hurt way back on April 8th, and he has been pinch hitting sporadically since that time as his ankle heals. Things just haven't gotten better, so Rollins was finally placed on the 15-day disabled list yesterday.
