The Phillies are back tonight after a day off, the first of five this month as they have more off days in August than in any other month this season. It should be a neat weekend at Citizens Bank Park as Shane Victorino will retire Friday, Roy Halladay and Pat Gillick will enter the Wall of Fame on Saturday, and the 2008 World Series champions will return to South Philly to be honored before Sunday’s game. And the Phillies play four times against the Marlins. It’s a golden opportunity to increase their first-place lead.
