It’s been a season to forget for the Phillies. They’re the worst team in baseball and a mind-boggling 25.5 games behind the Washington Nationals in the National League East. However, since the all star break, the Phillies haven’t been as atrocious, playing to an even 6-6 record, in large part to two series wins against the Marlins and Brewers.
One of the key contributors in the mini hot streak has been catcher Cameron Rupp, who has been tearing the cover off the ball lately. In his last 13 games he’s slashing .357/.438/.714 with four home runs and eight RBI.
