| (Best E Casino) - All hot-hitting teams are subject to cool off at some time. At this point, though, the Philadelphia Phillies have to be wondering if they will ever hit again. The Phillies have lost seven of their last eight games -- all against American League opponents -- and are hitting just .181 (46-for-254) in that span with two homers and 15 runs scored, good for a 1.9 runs per game average. By comparison, in four games prior in which they went 2-2, the Phillies hit .314 (48-for-153) with eight homers and 3 |
