The Phillies did exactly what they had to do when they returned to Citizens Bank Park against the two worst teams in the National League East.
They split a two-game series with the Marlins thanks to a Kyle Schwarber home run and took three of four against the Nationals. The only two games they lost during that stretch were Taijuan Walker starts.
At the time of this writing, the club split the first two games against the Atlanta Braves and Weston Wilson is playing third base. They’ll get two reinforcements back against the Kansas City Royals.
Ranger Suárez’s Return
Suárez will return against the Royals after missing about a month with lower-back soreness.
