A few weeks ago, the St. Louis Cardinals were mired in a seven-game losing streak, and it looked like they were headed towards another last place season. But since that streak ended, they’ve gone 12-3 and have looked like a legitimate - and possibly even good - baseball team. That may be poor timing for a Phillies team coming off a difficult road trip.
