NEW YORK — It stands to reason that if the Phillies are going to complete their quest to go from worst to first in the National League East this season, they will need to win at least a few more series before they cross the finish line. It is nothing short of amazing, not to mention sad commentary on the division itself, that the Phillies have gone more than a month since last winning a series and yet they still find themselves in the thick of the race with the first-place Atlanta Braves while barely losing any ground to the third-place Washington Nationals, the unanimous choice for baseball's most disappointing team.
