Ranking the year’s top Phillies sweeps

I know, I couldn’t really confirm that any of the Phillies' 2016 sweeps really happened, except for the April sweep of the Nationals in Washington. The box scores have all been scrubbed from the internet, according to my one tab of research, and the MLB historian I managed to get on the phone was awfully distracted by someone’s aggressive shouting.

But they happened.

Looking back on 2016, it is far easier to remember the Phillies’ many losses. One time, they lost nine games in a row. That same time, they went 7-28 from May 15 to June 22.
