Perfectly average, for better or worse. The bats at 2.3 R/G this week. That's not getting it done. Working in their favor, 2.9 RA/G over the last 7. The arms are doing their part.

Phillies News

Trea Turner may have finally found his spark, as the Phillies' interim manager Don Mattingly moved him out of the leadoff spot, resulting in a home run that helped propel the team to a much-needed 3-0 victory against the Padres. While the offense has struggled recently, averaging just 2.4 runs per game over the last week, Aaron Nola's solid performance on the mound shored up a series win, showing that the pitching can still hold its ground. Unfortunately, the injury bug hit again with Brandon Marsh leaving the game due to a right middle finger sprain, leaving Philadelphia's already thin outfield looking even more precarious. With a .500 record and inconsistency plaguing the lineup, the Phillies need more from players like Bryson Stott to step up and emulate the greatness of legends like Chase Utley.

Late Nite With Nola: Phillies 4, Padres 3

Late Nite with Nola is the hottest show on television. It’s got celebrity guests. It’s got a good opening monologue. It’s got fun interviews about Bryce Harper’s toothbrushing preferences. One thing it doesn’t have a lot of is runs for his opponent. The night started with Kyle Schwarber getting most of a cutter, but not […]
