They're Helping Phillies' Win-Streak - Pitchers who also can hit are one of the reasons the Philadelphia Phillies right now are enjoying a ten-game win streak, only one game behind the 11-game string racked up earlier this season by the Brooklyn Dodgers. The trio, from left: Saul Rogovin, Curt Simmons and Robin Roberts, has been equally good at plate and mound. Simmons and Rogovin, a Baltimore castoff, both have been playing "two-platoon" baseball, while Roberts, with a current record of 15 wins and 7 losses, has helped win two games with timely doubles.
