Galvis goes back to back: Phillies shortstop Freddy Galvis hit one home run in the first 39 games of the season, but he has now hit two in the last two games, after taking Red Sox starter Jon Lester deep on Saturday. He went 2 for 4 on Saturday, adding another single to go along with the two-run home run, after hitting a solo home run on Friday. Despite his efforts, the Phillies would lose the game, 7-5.

Fantasy Analysis
Galvis is now hitting .300 in the month of May with 10 extra-base hits, after looking thoroughly overmatched during the first month of the season. He has caught fire in May, and has just five strikeouts in 60 at bats after whiffing 12 times in 68 in April. He should be worth using in NL-only formats at this time. (Updated 05/19/2012).
