Ruiz homers in Phillies win

The Phillies posted a 6-5 win over the San Fransisco Giants on Sunday, in a game in which Cole Hamels pitched 6 innings, giving up 4 runs on 7 hits, striking out 5, and received no decision, and Carlos Ruiz hit his 1st home run of the season. Ruiz, who is hitting just .203 and yielding playing time to Chris Coste, picked up his 9th RBI. Ryan Howard was on base 3 times with walks, and Brad Harman got an at bat as a pinch hitter for Hamels in the 6th inning. It was Harman's first at bat since a pinch hit walk on April 27.
