homers do the phillies in

The team that hits the most home runs wins the game 75% of the time, or so I've been told. Last night Cole Hamels went seven innings, giving up three runs on two home runs while striking out nine. Michael Stutes then gave up a two-run shot to pinch-hitter Eric Hinske and the Braves won the game 5-2. The Phillies had plenty of chances against Braves' starter Jair Jurrjens but failed to convert. And they had nary a home run.
