Domonic Brown: 5 Reasons It’s Time to Call Up Phillies Young Slugger

The Philadelphia Phillies arrived back home after a lengthy West Coast trip, but they seemingly left their hot bats in Arizona. The Phillies were again ineffective at the plate for Roy Halladay and were unable to improve their record to .500 for the first time this season.
