Ryan Howard hit a two-run homer in the first inning on Monday to give him eight straight postseason games with at least one RBI.

The Philadelphia first baseman tied Lou Gehrig's major league record, which was set more than 70 years ago.

"Ryan has been swinging real good, of course," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "He's seeing the ball good. He looks real relaxed at the plate, and from a mechanics standpoint, he's loading up good and he's staying on the ball. When he's staying on the ball, he makes more consistent contact. He's hitting real good right now."
