The early season Phillies had a rhythm: Good starting pitching and sprinkle in a few lockdown relief outings at the end and some clutch hitting and you got yourself a satisfying Phillies victory. Rinse and repeat over and over again and before we knew it, the Phillies were the best team in baseball.
The Phillies, since June, had lost their way. They are 32-34 since touching down back in the States from London on June 10 and 15-20 since the All-Star break. There’s no shying away from it, but the Phillies would like to start the process of putting their summer slump behind them and playing well now in the time where the games really start to matter.
