Daily News | Phils’ bats stay on a roll in 7-3 win over the Rockies
Phillies Odubel Herrera celebrates his solo home run against the Rockies with teammates during the 1st inning at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Wednesday, April 27, 2022It’s almost certainly a coincidence, but, well, let’s just mention it off the top anyway: Since Kyle Schwarber blew off a bunch of steam a few nights ago, the previously stalled Phillies offense hasn’t ceased chugging along.Seven runs, 12 hits Wednesday night.
OK, so maybe that’s a better explanation than Schwarber’s bat-slamming, helmet-spiking tirade over home-plate umpire Angel Hernandez’s strike zone in the ninth inning Sunday night. The Rockies probably have something to do with it, too. They entered Wednesday night with a 4.53 team ERA, fourth-worst in the National League.
The latest onslaught began in a 49-degree chill with Odúbel Herrera’s fifth career leadoff homer. But it was really fueled by opportunistic, aggressive baserunning. The Phillies scored at least five runs — and could easily have had two more — that were tied to seizing an extra 90 feet on the bases. “We want our guys to be aggressive on the bases,” manager Joe Girardi said. “[First base coach] Paco [Figueroa] works really hard with them all spring long, during the season, and we think about taking that extra 90 feet every time we go out there.”
Herrera delivered, too, belting his fifth career leadoff homer on a heater from spot-starting Rockies right-hander Ryan Feltner. It marked Herrera’s second homer in as many games.Girardi likely will stick with Segura in the leadoff spot for a while. But it’s also possible Herrera gets additional opportunities there, especially against right-handed pitching. Entering the game, Phillies leadoff hitters were 12-for-75 with a .241 on-base percentage.
