Phillies News

The Philadelphia Phillies are in a curious spot after Cristopher Sánchez notched his 15th win of the season in a 7-3 rout over the Nationals, a performance that echoes the dominance of Roy Halladay in his Cy Young campaign. However, the recent 4-10 loss to these same Nationals puts a damper on the excitement, highlighting the inconsistency that’s plagued this team. With veteran reliever Lou Trivino opting for free agency, the Phils are left to ponder roster improvements in the wake of the trade deadline. Meanwhile, rookie Justin Crawford is getting the mentorship he needs from three-time batting champion Luis Arraez, as the Phillies hope to solidify their playoff push. The offense showed flashes with eight doubles in the last game, but can they maintain the momentum? The clock is ticking, and every game counts.

Cristopher Sánchez racking up wins without Cy Young form
PHILADELPHIA — Phillies ace Cristopher Sánchez won his 15th game of the season on Thursday night in a 7-3 win over the Washington Nationals. He is keeping up with Roy Halladay’s 2011 pace in wins. Halladay, who finished second in NL Cy Young voting that year, reached 15 wins through 24 starts and 115 team […]

Can rookie Justin Crawford learn from Luis Arraez? Phillies think new addition is ‘a great guy for him to talk to’
PHILADELPHIA — When Justin Crawford spoke with new Phillies teammate Luis Arraez inside the first-base dugout while the club was batting in the bottom of the second inning on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park, it was a welcome sight for the organization. The Phillies landed Arraez, a three-time batting champion and the current National […]

Phillies have 4 potential upgrades at play after post-trade deadline roster shuffling
While the time for trading is over, if the Philadelphia Phillies are shrewd they could still make a few smaller upgrades by scooping up veterans who were cut.
