While the Phillies got a stellar pitching performance out of Aaron Nola in his return to big league action on Sunday, they took the loss when they couldn’t muster out a single run. They’ve won only four times in the month of May, which amounts to a 4-14 record.
If they want to right the ship, they’ll have to do it against the Colorado Rockies, who own the National League’s best record.
That sentence may have made your eyeballs fall right out of your head for two reasons. The first being that the Phillies will have to return to competence against one of baseball’s hottest teams, which feels impossible after their recent stretch.
