Nationals' Daniel Murphy: Homers for second consecutive game against Phillies

Murphy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Phillies.

Analysis:

Murphy extended his hit streak to 10 games with the effort, six of which have been of the multi-hit variety. While Murphy had been a serviceable contact hitter without much pop for most of his career, he is mashing for the Nationals this year. He extended his National League leading slugging percentage to .634 and is now on pace for 27 home runs. His current career high is just 14, set last year with the Mets.
