The Philadelphia Phillies have won five in a row, and just swept the Washington Nationals over a four-game series.
Now, they’re home to host the New York Mets in what has to be the biggest series of the season thus far. Why? Because whoever wins tonight is in first place.
The Fightins have picked up considerable ground this week, and are only half a game out of first, thanks to some dominant pitching, a praying mantis, a pair of Harper homers, and the Best Catcher in Baseball coming through in the clutch once again.
