Phillies' Aaron Altherr: Belts second homer of campaign
Altherr went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's win over Atlanta.
Analysis:
Altherr is sporting a seven-game hitting streak with five extra-base hits, two stolen bases, four RBI and eight runs alongside an 1.124 OPS. It's always important to be wary of small sample sizes, but the production is impressive nonetheless. He's started six of the seven games in this streak, including hitting second in three straight. With Howie Kendrick (oblique) out a while, Altherr should be able to work his way into the lineup most days.
