CF Odubel Herrera went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs Friday against Kansas City, and it is increasingly likely that he will be the Phillies' representative in the All-Star Game later this month. The native Venezuelan said through an interpreter Friday that he doesn't dwell on such things. Then he was asked if he believes he deserves a berth. "For sure," he said in English. His homer came on a 1-0 fastball from Royals starter Ian Kennedy to open the bottom of the first, Herrera's ninth of the season and the first leadoff shot of his career.

CF Odubel Herrera, who went 2-for-4 with two singles Tuesday, continues to look like the Phillies' top candidate for the All-Star team. Not that is dwelling on it. "I think about it, but honestly I play for my team, to help my team win," Herrera said through an interpreter. "If that gets me there, then wonderful. But if it doesn't, what I really want is for the team to win." Herrera led the NL with three four-hit games after getting one Monday, and he was second in times on base (129) and singles (68). He also has four assists.

CF Odubel Herrera hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning Wednesday and styled it with a bat-flip at the plate before taking off for his cruise around the bases. It was a move that at one time would have prompted retribution (and it still may at some point) but the trend now is to let players celebrate their moments, much as football players do. "I'm not worried (about retaliation)," manager Pete Mackanin said. "A lot of players believe they should be able to celebrate. I didn't see it. But I wish you hadn't of brought it up."

Herrera had singled three times before grounding out to the pitcher in the seventh. RHP Justin Verlander struck him out three times and walked him once.

CF Odubel Herrera had three strong hits Monday night, but when he failed to run out a tapper back to the pitcher in the seventh inning, he was removed from the game by manager Pete Mackanin. "I've seen it in the past and it's been trickling in and I just didn't like it, and I just made the decision," Mackanin said. "He was very matter of fact about it. He knows he should have run. As I was approaching Herrera, Ryan Howard walked up to him and told him he should make sure he runs that stuff out, which I thought was great to see from Howard." Mackanin said Herrera would play Tuesday.
