Aug 5 CF Shane Victorino wasn't in the starting lineup Sunday night because manager Charlie Manuel believes the high-energy offensive catalyst can benefit from rest every now and then. Victorino, after all, had started 39 consecutive games. But he rested for only six innings Sunday night against the Cardinals. After coming off the bench, Victorino belted a three-run home run in the eighth inning against St. Louis reliever Russ Springer. Victorino, not known for his power, has seven home runs in his last 19 games. Last week, Manuel joked that the chatty Victorino was getting his power surge from his lips. Manuel had another theory Sunday night. "We got him off his feet, and that made him stronger," he said. Yahoo! Sports


Aug 4 Victorino's three-run home run capped a four-run eighth inning against a vulnerable St. Louis bullpen for a 5-4 victory on Sunday night.

Advice: Victorino has gone 20-for-58 (.345) with five homers and 12 RBIs over his last 14 contests, and in that same stretch, he has 13 times. Overall, he is batting .286 with 10 homers and 41 RBIs this season.
