Ibanez, Howard lift Phillies over Jays (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Raul Ibanez is starting to show the Phillies what he is capable of doing with a bat. Ibanez hit two doubles, Ryan Howard drove a two-run homer off the light tower beyond the right-center field fence and Philadelphia beat the Toronto Blue Jays 12-7 Monday. "He's a gap-to-gap hitter," manager Charlie Manuel said of Ibanez.
