SURGING BATS

After struggling for most of the season, Peter Bourjos had another nice week at the plate. He batted .455 with a homer and 3 RBI over the last seven days.

Manager Pete Mackanin said he is giving Bourjos a chance to win a starting job, and he seems to be making the most of the opportunity.

Cody Asche also had a nice week at the plate, hitting .348 with a homer and 4 doubles. He and Bourjos were the only two offensive bright spots this week.

Hopefully the Phils 24-run slugfest at Target Field with the Twins last night will help to get their hitting on track by the time we look again next week.
