“Until they make the (quick) pitch illegal”, Collins said, “You can do it”. “I got a chance to experience that firsthand tonight, and it was a lot of fun”. “If he’s 100 percent, I’d like his bat back in the lineup”, Mackanin said.

“I’ll take the Nationals’ fans over the Mets’ fans”, Andersen said, according to NJ Advance Media. It was the fifth time that occurred, and the first time since May 17, 1979, when the Chicago Cubs hit six and the Phillies had five in a game Philadelphia won 23-22 in 10 innings.

Braves 5, Rockies 3: Jonny Gomes drove in three runs with two hits, including a two-run homer in the first, and Atlanta beat Colorado to end its seven-game losing streak. One out later, second baseman Kelly Johnson singled, with Murphy advancing to third.Jeanmar Gomez relieved Williams and retired the first hitter he faced, shortstop Wilmer Flores, but left fielder Michael Conforto walked to load the bases. He joins Mike Schmidt as the only Phillies sluggers to have nine 20-homer seasons.

It was hitting season on Monday night at Citizens Bank Park where one ace and a rookie lefty were battered around in a barrage of home runs and extra-base hits in a record-tying game.

“You can say old school, new school, whatever school you want, we’re talking about injuries in the game of baseball”, Bowa said. “He hit a home run and we were getting blown out and [he] flipped his bat and he’s a veteran”.

With all sorts of homerish records ready to burst around him, the Mets reliever managed to hold the Phillies scoreless through the middle innings, going 3 1/3 innings and allowing three scattered hits with four strikeouts.

Morgan was replaced by Hector Neris, who served up a three-run, go-ahead homer to Flores in the fifth. His sixth-inning double drove in two runs and extended Boston’s lead to 5-1.

In fact, the Phillies and Mets went homer-for-homer in the first three innings, as the Phillies built a 7-2 lead. Flores hit a two-run shot in the fourth and d’Arnaud followed with a solo homer. Happ (2-1) has allowed one earned run in his previous 171/Three innings. Daniel Murphy notched his own home run in the sixth. The best teams don’t underestimate any opponent and get to work. Philadelphia sits at 26th with 477 runs this season and New York ranks 21st with 502.

“It’s incredible to be a part of”, Wright said of the team he returned to.

Meanwhile, Steven Matz is slated to throw 60 pitches for Double-A Binghamton in the third game of his rehab assignment. Phillies interim manager Pete Mackanin mentioned the possibility that his team will use a six-man rotation in September, in order to limit the number of innings worked by young pitchers such as RHP Aaron Nola.
