 NEW YORK (AP) - This time, Jimmy Rollins let his bat do the talking. Rollins hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Aaron Heilman in the seventh inning, rallying the Philadelphia Phillies and Mets nemesis Adam Eaton to a 4-2 victory over New York on Wednesday night.
It was the 10th homer of the season for Rollins, who finished 3-for-4 with two stolen bases. Rollins, who boasted in spring training that the Phillies were the team to beat in the NL East, again was booed loudly by the Shea Stadium crowd every time he came to the plate.
"He was kind of choked up on the bat, and took a real short swing at the ball," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "The ball really jumped off the bat. That's what you call trying to back up what you say."
