The Phillies have fallen into second place in the NL East for the first time since late April. Now, with a month straight of games against opponents from within the division, they will answer some of their burning questions and test their character as a team.
Starting with a three-game series against the Atlanta Braves beginning this weekend, the Phillies will be tested to the limit in this make-or-break stretch.
Questions to be answered include:
- Will Aaron Nola return to form as the pitcher we know from last year?
- Who in the rotation can be counted on to be a legitimate starter?
