It wasn’t the prettiest road trip the Phillies have ever had. They lost one game 13-0 and recorded only one hit in another. But in the end, the Phillies finished the seven-game road swing with four wins, even if it wasn’t against the toughest competition they’ll face all season.
The Phillies have yet to show much consistency, with their longest winning streak being two games. But the schedule makers have given them a great opportunity to string a few wins together this weekend when they’ll be hosting a team currently riding an eight-game losing streak.
Colorado Rockies
Record: 5-14, Fifth place in National League West (Six games back)
The manager
Bud Black is back for his seventh season with the Rockies, and it’s looking increasingly likely that it will be his last.
