Ryan Howard returned to the lineup on Sunday and hit a home run, his second of the season.
He's gotten off to a slow start and was back in the lineup for the first time after missing three games with a sore left knee.
"It's tough when you're not catching a lot of breaks," said Howard. "Not only myself but the team. The way we've played the last couple days, it's just kind of [indicative] of that."

he Phillies got the win they were so desperately in need of Saturday night in front of a sellout crowd of 39,353 at Great American Ball Park behind the stellar pitching of lefty Cole Hamels, whose complete-game, 15-strikeout effort paved the way to a 4-1 victory.
It was unlikely manager Charlie Manuel talked about turning triple plays in his pregame meeting with the team, but the Phils got exactly that, to help Hamels out of a fifth-inning jam.
With runners on first and second, Reds catcher David Ross swung on Hamels' first offering, and grounded it directly to third baseman Abraham Nunez, who started the 5-4-3 around-the-horn triple play.

It's been a quick trip from staff ace to the bullpen for Brett Myers.
In a surprising decision that manager Charlie Manuel hopes will bolster his relief corps, the Phillies moved Myers
from the rotation to a setup role in the bullpen Wednesday and put Jon Lieber in the rotation.
