Not a great stretch. Last night's loss by 9 drags the score down. On top of that, 2 wins in 7 games. The math speaks for itself.

Phillies News

The Philadelphia Phillies are stumbling out of the gate with an 8-10 record, and last night's brutal 11-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs highlights their ongoing issues. Jesús Luzardo's struggles on the mound are alarming, as he surrendered nine runs on 12 hits, continuing a trend of poor performances that begs the question: is he tipping his pitches? The offense, which has been underwhelming, is compounding the problem, unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities while the pitching staff disintegrates. Losing three straight series at home is unacceptable, especially with the Cubs looking to capitalize on the Phillies' misfires. With Martín Pérez slated to start for Atlanta on Friday, the Phillies need to regroup quickly or risk falling further behind in the division.
