Final Thoughts
After a solid four-game winning streak, the Phils have now dropped three straight.
During this latest losing streak, the offense has once again struggled to do any kind of damage against opposing pitching. They haven’t scored more than two runs in any of the last three games, and in two of their losses they managed only one run.
