The Phillies six-game winning streak back in April seems as if it was decades ago. The team hasn’t been able to win back-to-back games since, winning only three of
their next 18 games. The Phils now head into Pittsburgh to try and right the ship.
What to expect
This might not be what you want to hear, but the Phillies haven’t had recent success at PNC Park lately. Since June 2012, the Phils are 3-9 in Pittsburgh and just 9-21 against the Pirates during that stretch. Still, the Phils will have the top of their rotation on the hill with Aaron Nola returning to the mound for the series finale on Sunday.
