It almost feels like the Phillies‘ big win streak that pushed them onto the top of the standings earlier this month was a mirage. Bryce Harper is as sick as everyone else of what has gone on since.
A little more than two weeks ago, the Phillies were up by two games in the NL West.
Since then, they’ve lost 9 of 13, the most recent defeat coming Tuesday after Archie Bradley surrendered two runs to the Tampa Bay Rays in the eighth resulting in a 3-1 loss.
