Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard is off to a slow start. The 33-year-old veteran singled in the ninth inning for his only hit during Sunday's contest against the Royals.
Howard struck out three times in his first four at-bats and is batting just .167 (4 for 24) with three RBI and two walks. He has struck out eight times in his first six games.
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel thinks Howard will start turning things around.
"I think a lot of guys come out sometimes, you play two or three games, and if you don't hit a home run or don't have too many hits, I think all of a sudden, you start trying too hard," Manuel told MLB.com. "I think he put together a good at-bat in the ninth inning. I think he'll be fine."
