The Phillies have officially dropped a second straight series to the Marlins, and, the way things are trending of late, they are on the verge of being swept... again.
Try as they might, Philadelphia just can’t seem to crack Miami — a team that boasts a ridiculously poor 32-49 record. In fact, over the course of their last five meetings, all of which the Phillies have lost, the Marlins have outscored them, 28-16.
So, what in the world is a competitive ball club like Philadelphia doing dropping games to the worst team in the National League?
