The Philadelphia Phillies (70-65) have a tough turnaround to deal with. After Scott Kingery came up with one of the biggest hits of the season to beat the Mets on Sunday Night Baseball in Philadelphia, the team boarded a chartered flight to Cincinnati where they’ll begin a four-game set against the Reds on Labor Day.
The team surely will be running short on sleep. However the Phillies may be the least tired team out of the two. The Reds split a day-night doubleheader against the Cardinals in St. Louis on Sunday. That’s good news for the Phillies as they’ll need every advantage they could get in the final month of the season.
