One Sentence Summary: Jared Eickhoff and Freddy Galvis helped the Phillies break their 9-game losing streak in a 7-3 win over the Twins.
What It Means: This is the Phillies third win in their last 17 games and Eickhoff has won all three. It doesn't get any easier for the team as they'll now head to San Francisco for a three game series with the first place Giants.

Galvis had a five-RBI day, capped by his three-run home run in the eighth inning. Ryan Howard also homered (11) and singled, marking his first multi-hit game since April 29th.
