Ryan Howard drives in five in win over Pirates
by Kerry Kauffman | Sat, Mar 19th 12:02am EDT
The Philadelphia Phillies pounded 15 hits in a 15-12 win over the Pirates on Friday. Ryan Howard provided a large part of the offense, going 3-for-4 with his second spring home run and five RBI. Howard had been struggling for the most part, so the game on Friday is a good sign moving forward.
Fantasy Impact:
Howard will likely end up in a platoon situation with Darin Ruf this season. Howard has not hit well against left-handed pitching in years and was woeful last season. Since Howard is still a power threat against right-handers, he has some decent fantasy value as a later pick.
