Phillies first basemen Ryan Howard picked a perfect time to snap out of his recent funk at the plate. Howard, who had been hitless in his previous 18 at-bats, looped a two-run single into right field off reliever Matt Reynolds in the 10th inning of a 4-2 win. He finished 1 for 5.
"When he's going bad, he looks bad, but he can take one swing and get the game over," Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel said.
Even with his go-ahead single Sunday, Howard has struggled in May with seven hits over his last 41 at-bats (.171) and has struck out 19 times.
