Good morning, Phillies fans. Well, that was some weekend, wasn’t it? The Phillies accomplished something that hadn’t been done in 24 years: They swept a four-game series from the Pirates, completing the brooming with Aaron Altherr’s walkoff single in the 11th inning Sunday. Make it eight wins in nine games at Citizens Bank Park for the Phils — and 13 wins in 16 games overall since their 1-4 start.
Manager Gabe Kapler says his players are having fun, a point amplified after every victory by the dance music, smoke machine and laser lights that turn the clubhouse into, well, a club.
