Darin Ruf, who has struggled most of the spring, led the Phillies at the plate with a 2-for-4 effort Thursday against the Twins. His double in the second inning plated two, and his single an inning later scored another run. Coming into the contest, Ruf, who is battling for a starting outfield job, was 3 for 28. "Hopefully that gets him going," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "Ruf is a good hitter. I don't worry about him going 3 for 30 or something. He might be trying a little hard. At the same time, he's all right."
