The Phillies had a sweep in hand against the Reds...and then their mistakes finally caught up to them. Apparently, if you make a lot of outs on the basepaths and walk a lot of batters, bad things tend to happen. Go figure.
The Phillies next opponent is one that they used to have a lot of trouble with in years past but largely dominated in 2022. If the Phillies want to return to the playoffs in 2023, they’ll likely need to come closer to the 12-7 record they had against the Marlins in 2022, as opposed to the dismal 12-17 across 2020 and 2021.
