Chris Snelling homers in second MLB at bat of 08

Chris Snelling got called in to pinch hit in the bottom of the 9th today, as the Phillies trailed the Astros 0-3. Facing his first pitch from Jose Valverde, a 90mph fastball, Snelling crushed it to right field for a lead off homer. It was the beginning of the end for Valverde and the Astros. He went on to hit Chase Utley, before striking out Ryan Howard, giving up a homer to Pat Burrell (which also scored Utley) and allowing Geoff Jenkins to reach base on a dropped K2. Pedro Feliz then hit a double, scoring Jenkins, and giving the Phillies a remarkable 4-3 win. Check out MLB Gameday for videos of these plays.
