It’s no secret the Phillies’ schedule this month has been brutally tough, and is no doubt part of the reason why the team is 4-8 this month.
They were swept in San Francisco at the start of the month, outscored 12-1. They lost two out of three to the Cubs in Chicago, and then came home and lost two of three to the Brewers, being outscored in that series 27-11.
However, the Phillies rebounded with a series victory against the Rockies this week, their first series victory since taking two out of three from Atlanta May 21-23.
