STRUGGLING BATS

Peter Bourjos cold off at the plate after a scorching hot June. Bourjos batted just .238 with a homer and five strikeouts in five games played.

Rule 5 pick Tyler Goeddel continues to struggle mightily, finishing the week 0-11 at the plate.

Ryan Howard continued to struggle, batting just .222, but he did manage a homer in three games played this week.

Cody Asche also cooled down considerably this week, batting a measly .176  with a homer.

Odubel Herrera, the Phillies lone All Star this season, hit just .174 with eight strikeouts in six games. Here’s hoping Herrera will get a chance to play in the All Star Game tonight, and get back on track when the second half of the season resumes on Friday.
