Following a tough three-game sweep at the hands of the Dodgers, the Philadelphia Phillies came away with a much-needed series win in San Diego.
In game one, a poor performance from Aaron Nola led to a loss and brought the team’s season high losing streak to five games. But an offense led by Jay Bruce carried poor pitching to wins in the latter two games of the series, snapping the losing streak and ending the West Coast trip at 2-4. The Phillies now sit at 35-27 on the season and are a game up on the Atlanta Braves for the division lead.
