South Phillies juggernaut

The Phillies offensive production dropped off last night. They only scored seven runs in dispatching the Rockies again, 7-4.

If you’re keeping score, that’s 42 runs put up by the Phils in the last three games.

They jumped all over the Rockies from the opening bell last night, scoring four runs in the first and tacking on three more in the second. They also got a decent outing from Kyle Kendrick, who pitched into the eighth.

The Phils withstood a late Rockies rally, and an hour and a half rain delay, to post the win.

They could sweep the Rockies tonight. That’s one story line. Here’s another. Adam Eaton takes the hill for the Phils tonight. If he was ever going to have a chance to go deep in a game and provide the Phils with the solid fifth starter option they’ve been looking for, tonight would be the night.

Eaton needs to step it up tonight. After all, this kind of offensive run the team is on right now is not going to last forever. Or is it?
