Jimmy Rollins popped out, but Shane Victorino worked a walk. Victorino definitely has the young Danks' attention as the pitcher has thrown over to first several times.
Sure enough, Victorino steals second - his 20th of the season already - and Chase Utley sends him home with a single to right. That's the way this lineup is supposed to work.
Ryan Howard popped out and Pat Burrell grounded out to end the inning.

Victorino never gets any ink. Everybody always has Howard, Utley, Rollins & Hamels as the 'cornerstones' of this team. Victorino is just as important. The sky's the limit as to how many bases he might steal. He has one of the best arms in baseball out in right. No respect!!!

Victorino could be one of the dumbest players that the Phils have had. He steals the base when you don't need it, or in front of someone who they walk intentionally. Great arm. But for a starting outfielder, he doesn't hit for power enough, or in clutch situations. Average or below average as a MLB starting right fielder.
