  • Freddy Galvis went 2-5, driving in two runs.
  • Chase Utley went 0-4, but drove in a run.

  • Cody Asche went 1-3 with a double.

Final Thoughts

Not much has gone right, or will go right for the 2015 Phillies…but outfielder Odubel Herrera has been a nice surprise.

Herrera has taken over the center field job from Ben Revere, and is hitting over .300. Unlike Revere, Herrera has shown that he can do a little more than just hit a bunch of weak singles. Herrera has doubled and tripled multiple times in just the last week alone.
