The Joseph homer made a winner of Phillies starting pitcher Vince Velasquez, who gave up eight hits, but held the Rockies to two runs in six innings. The Phillies prevailed on a night when Rockies All-Star right fielder Carlos Gonzalez had three hits, including a double, and Trevor Story drove in two runs.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Joseph delivers: Joseph has struggled since a hot start, entering the night hitting .160 (13-for-81) with two homers, five RBIs and a .463 OPS in 22 games since June 10. His pinch-hit, three-run homer in the seventh was the Phillies' first pinch-hit homer of the season and Joseph's first pinch-hit of his career.
