SAN DIEGO -- Cameron Rupp tweaked his swing, and now hitting has become a day at
the beach.
Kirk Gibson Jersey .Rupp clanked a three-run
homer off a palm tree beyond center field and tied a career high with four RBI
to lift the Philadelphia Phillies over the San Diego Padres 5-4 on Friday
night.Rupp has revamped his swing by trying to stay on top of the ball and its
paying off. He rates among the NLs top five catchers this season with 13 homers
and 38 RBI.I cant tell you how much more fun it is when you are hitting home
runs and driving in runs, he said. Its awesome Im having the success I am
having.Rupp also helped guide starter Jeremy Hellickson (9-7) through another
solid start. Hellickson allowed three runs, six hits and two walks in his first
start since sticking with the Phillies through the trade deadline despite rumors
he might move.Im pitching for these guys, Hellickson said. I dont know who
offered what, but Im pitching for these guys and thats it.Jeanmar Gomez pitched
the ninth for his 28th save in 30 chances.Christian Friedrich (4-7) lost for the
sixth time in his last seven decisions, surrendering four runs and five hits. He
had four strikeouts and hasnt won since June 23.I thought (Friedrich) was good
today, Padres manager Andy Green said. He paid for that pitch (to Rupp) but
other than that he was really good all day.Alexei Ramirezs first career
pinch-hit homer in the seventh pulled the Padres within 4-3 and chased
Hellickson. Travis Jankowski followed with a single and appeared to stretch it
to a double, but after Jankowski was ruled safe on Tyler Goeddels throw, the
call was overturned because Jankowski took his hand off the bag before calling
time.The Phillies scored in the eighth on Tommy Josephs single to make it 5-3.
In the bottom half, Wil Myers hit a homer for his third hit of the game, slicing
the deficit to 5-4.Rupp padded the Phillies cushion to 4-2 in the sixth when his
RBI single scored Franco, who reached on a one-out single.Jankowski scored in
the third for a 2-0 Padres lead. He singled and advanced to second on Myers
single. Hellickson then balked both runners up 90 feet and Jankowski came in on
Jose Rondons run-scoring single.The Padres struck in the second, using speed and
two singles.Alex Dickerson opened with a hit and swiped second. Two outs later,
Rondons single brought in Dickerson for a 1-0 advantage.Myers homer was his 21st
of the season and his 15th at Petco Park, which ties a franchise record.TRAINERS
