The Phils turned to the longball and a Ruf walk-off to end a 7-game losing streak.
Darin Ruf has been around for quite a little while now.
He's no kid, 28 years old, playing a portion of his fourth season with the Phillies. He's never been good enough to claim a spot as an everyday outfielder, and with Ryan Howard blocking him at first, has never been able to maintain consistent playing time with the Phils.
He's been back and forth from the minors to the Majors and battled injuries.
