Ryan Howard still looking for first extra-base hit

Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard is still looking for his first extra-base hit of the season.

The 33-year-old came into the season with more questions than usual. Howard struggled after returning from injury last season, hitting just. 219/.295/.423 in 292 plate appearances. He did, however, manage to hit 14 home runs.

Howard has gotten off to a poor start, but there's no reason to think he'll suddenly stop hitting for power. His age and drop-off from last season are legitimate concerns, though.
