Everything was going so well on Friday. After demolishing the Marlins, the Phillies had won six games in a row and looked like they were ready to just cruise through the remainder of the regular season. And then, they received two poor starting pitching performances and suffered consecutive losses to the Marlins. Because this is the Phillies, and they apparently don’t do the whole cruising through the regular season thing.
So, it probably won’t be all sunshine and rainbows the rest of the way. But with a three-game set against a mediocre Rays team, they can make things a lot more sunshiny and rainbowy, at least for a few days.
