Phillies consecutive homers
Posted by Andy on April 21, 2008
Last night, Chase Utley homered in his 4th straight game.
The AP story on the game notes that the Phillies' team record for homers in consecutive games is 5, done most recently by Bobby Abreu in 2005.
Indeed, here are the 3 who have done it:

The AP article also noticed that before Utley, Josh Willingham was the last player to hit homers in 3 straight games against the Mets. Here are the longest such streaks since 1993:

You can see Willingham and Utley both there at 3-game streaks.
Other long streaks against the Mets can be seen here and here. Bad Henry has a streak of 5 that matches Ryan Howard's.

Abreu must have been the only Phillie hitting during his streak. 5 homers, a double, 4 singles, and only 7 RBI. 16 times on base, including the 5 homers, and he only scored 6 runs. Where was the rest of the team?
