Derek Hill went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
For the second consecutive night, Hill entered the game as a pinch-hitter and went on to get a two-run homer in the ninth inning. Thursday's shot was not a game-winner like Wednesday's, and it was also not in his only at-bat of the contest. Still, it brought home the final two runs of the game for the Phillies yet again. Hill is obviously locked in at the plate right now, as he's picked up seven hits over his last 15 at-bats overall.
