The Phillies (76-70) continue their six-game homestand and welcome the Boston Red Sox (77-70) into town for a quick two-game interleague series. Following a 9-5, series-splitting victory over the Braves, the Phillies look to maintain their winning ways at Citizens Bank Park.
Boston, whom the Phillies swept in their last endeavor earlier in the season, is a far cry from the well-oiled, World Series-winning machine they emulated last season. Losers of seven of their last ten, the BoSox are reeling right now and the Phils desperately need to take advantage as they try to keep pace in the NL Wild Card race.
