It wasn’t easy, but the Phillies did indeed win the series against the Marlins. You could argue that it could have been a sweep for the Phillies, but it was also very close to being a sweep for the Marlins. Let’s just take the two wins and be happy.
The Phillies will now head down I-95 to face the Nationals for the first time this season. In theory, this is a good thing. The Nationals are not having a good season. In fact, they have the worst record in the National League. Five games against them should be a great opportunity to rack up some wins.
