Fourth Gear

Aaron Rowand made a big stamp on his first year in Philadelphia last night with a two-run home run in the eighth inning to keep the Phillies winning streak going with a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves.

That’s two game-winning hits in two games. "Up until a few nights ago, we hadn't had one come-from-behind win," Rowand told Ken Mandel at MLB.com. "When you get on a roll like this, it changes the attitude and the confidence level. Sometimes, you're not going to get it done, but you know you can." A four-game winning streak seemed like a pipe dream a few weeks ago, but can they make it five? Check it out tonight at Citizens Bank Park.
