The Phillies were a Jay Bruce offensive explosion away from a series sweep in New York. While the 5-7 outcome during the last twelve all against the Washington Nationals and the aforementioned Mets could have been better, Phils fans should be really excited. They could have won at least three more games on the roadtrip, but they showed a ton of resilience throughout the dozen games. Yoenis Cespedes did not have an extremely noticeable impact on the Phillies this series.
However,if you think back to Wednesday night’s loss, he drew a critical walk off Vince Velasquez that brought Bruce, the eventual go ahead run, to the plate.
