You can tell the Phillies are red-hot.
They won on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball.
I don’t have the record in front of me, but it seems as though the Phillies are something like 3-47 in their last 50 appearances under the bright lights of ESPN’s national game-of-the-week broadcast. But last night, riding a huge Bryce Harper 3-run bomb, the Phils edged the Giants 5-4 and ran their record to an MLB-best 24-11.
They are on pace for 111 victories, the best start by any Phillies team, yes including the 101-win 2011 squad, since 1995.
