Then, in the top of the fifth inning, Rollins connected again, this time to tie the game up at 2-2.
The next batter was new acquisition Nate Schierholtz, and he hit his first homer in a Phillies uniform, giving the team a 3-2 lead.
Schierholtz also contributed with the glove, making a nice catch in the eighth inning. Overall, it was a nice debut.
