The Phillies cruised to an easy win last night, defeating the Dodgers 15-3. Seven players managed multiple hit games, including pitcher J.D. Durbin who collected three hits. The biggest nights belonged to Shane Victorino and Aaron Rowand, each knocking out five hits in the game.

Ryan Howard hit a pair of two-run home runs. Shane Victorino tied a career high with five hits. Aaron Rowand set a career high with five hits. Chase Utley collected three RBIs. Pat Burrell hit his 200th career homer in the seventh inning.

In the fifty seven year history of the Day by Day Database, it's just the eighteenth time two players on the same team picked up five hits in the same game.

With his two home runs last night, Howard has hit fifteen in his last 155 at bats, about one every ten at bats. That's better than his career average of one every 11.4 at bats.

Thanks. One of the advantage of all the new advertising is they've given us access to photos.
