a rough stretch

Rough stretch. A 0-7 stretch over the last 7 is hard to spin. On top of that, dropped last night by 3 and the temperature took a hit.

Phillies News

The Phillies' downward spiral continued with a disheartening 5-1 loss to the Cubs, marking their seventh straight defeat and leaving them at a dismal 1-6 over the last week with a staggering run differential of -26. As if the cold streak wasn’t enough, Jesús Luzardo struggled again with control issues, though he managed to limit the damage to just one earned run. Amidst this chaos, there's a glimmer of hope as Zack Wheeler is set to make his season debut on Saturday after recovering from thoracic outlet surgery. His return could be a much-needed jolt for a pitching staff that can’t seem to find its footing. Meanwhile, the front office remains optimistic, president Dave Dombrowski insists he’s not worried about the current hole, but fans are left wondering how much longer this losing streak can go on.
