Rollins Return

Jimmy Rollins made a successful return to the Philadelphia lineup Friday night:

The reigning NL MVP came off the disabled list and hit a two-run homer, an RBI double and also singled, sending the Phillies past the struggling San Francisco Giants 7-4 on Friday night.

"It was great. It makes you smile," Rollins said, doing just that, smiling. "Hopefully I can give you guys a good story. It ain't going to happen all the time."

Phillies shortstops hit decently with Rollins out, posting a .333 OBA and a .400 slugging percentage. For his career, Rollins has a .331 OBA and a .453 slugging percentage, so mostly the Phillies lost some power.
