Carlos Santana Factors In Early And Often In Victory
6 years agoThe Philadelphia Phillies easily disposed of the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park on Friday night, handing the home club an embarrassing 10-run defeat. At the center of the action on offense was first baseman Carlos Santana, who batted cleanup on the day. His effect was felt from the onset as his first-inning single drove in the game’s first run. He would go on to smack a two-run home run and score on a wild pitch, finishing the game with four RBI. While the 32-year-old got off on the wrong foot in Philadelphia, batting just .195 exactly a month ago, he’s found his rhythm at the plate. Across his last 30 games, Santana is hitting .289 with four home runs and 16 RBI.
