Phillies' Revere having a hot June, as always

It's been quite a weekend for Phillies outfielder Ben Revere, both in the games that counted and those that didn't.

On Friday, Revere hit a pinch-hit home run off baseball's hottest pitcher, Max Scherzer, in a 5-2 loss to the Washington Nationals.

Then in Saturday's game at Citizens Bank Park, which was postponed by rain after just 11/2 innings, Revere had enough time to make his mark.

Besides getting a single and stolen base, Revere made a spectacular catch, leaping at the outfield wall to rob Nationals first baseman Tyler Moore of an extra-base hit.

"I tried to jump as high as I could to catch it, and luckily it found a way to my glove," Revere said.
