| Chris Coste rips one over the fence for a 2-run clout in the 4th after the Braves had retaken the lead for the decisive runs and the Phillies cool off the Braves ending their 7 game winning streak and gaining a game in the standings. Cole Hamels, had he hit a homer during the season, would have gone back-to-back with Coste but instead Cole has to settle for a single. Hamels puts his batting average to the .304 mark, one of 8 NL pitchers batting over .300 this year. Speaking of pitchers homeruns, there have been a total of 14 hit so far in 2008. Carlos Zambrano of the Cubs and Brandon Backe of the Astros have three homers each, along with Felix Hernandez of the AL Seattle Mariners!! Hernandez, who has never batted except for the interleague games since he has been a Mariner his entire career so far, in real life in the one game he batted in hit a homerun and a sac bunt off of Mets lefty Johan Santana. Because of that, his batting card against lefties has the entire first collumn except for the 12 as a homerun, and 5-12 in the third collumn except for the 8 is a homer. In the SOM game on that date, Hernandez smokes 3 homeruns and drove in 7 runs. I didn't notice it at the time that it had even happened, and that has to be one of the best batting performances for a pitcher in history! |
