Chase Utley, Offense Heating Up: Philadelphia Phillies Turn in 7-Game Win Streak

The Phillies have been fun to watch during this seven game winning streak. The have scored a total of 43 runs, about six per game.

How can this team be stopped when the offense is hitting to their potential? The answer is simple: they can't.

Phillies fans have been waiting for the offense to break out, and they finally have.

Not only has the offense found its stroke, but its most important piece, Chase Utley, has too.

Over this seven game winning streak, Utley has turned in a .391 AVG (nine for 25) with two HR and eight RBI. Finally he looks like the old Chase Utley.

The big man at first base, Ryan Howard, has also started to produce like his old self. Over this seven game winning streak he has hit .363 (eight for 22) has two HR, nine RBI, and seven BB.

When Howard walks seven times in seven games, it is a sign he is heating up. Teams become afraid of him and start to walk him.

Another great sign for Howard is both of his HR during this winning streak have been to left field. When he is hitting the ball the other way, the shift will start to decrease and he can hit more singles to right field.

Also, we can't forget about to prospect Domonic Brown. In an increased role, he has contributed three HR and four RBI during the winning steak.

All in all, with the offense producing and the dominant pitching, this team is unstoppable.

Oh, and on a side note, Cliff Lee is eight for his last 20 at the plate, and has four RBI on the season. The guy is just a pure athlete.
