Thank goodness the Phillies pulled out that 8-5 win over the Guardians on Sunday.
The streaky Phils broke bad in their last two series against Milwaukee and Cleveland over the last week, two eminently beatable teams in weak divisions that took four out of six from the Phillies, mostly due to the offense’s continued inability to hit consistently. And while that Sunday win prevented their weekend in Ohio from being a complete disaster, the team’s offensive faults have been on full display over the last week.
Sometimes, a Corbin Burnes is going to come along and own you.
