Remember that last homestand, though?
It feels like the vibes of yesterweek that may have crested their highest peak of positivity in this streaky, rollercoaster season have come careening back to earth in short order.
The Phillies (74-61) dropped game two of their three game series hosted by the Milwaukee Brewers (76-59) on Saturday night for their third consecutive, bitterly contested, hard-to-swallow loss.
It started out safe enough. Another day, another leadoff homer for Kyle Schwarber.

It was his 39th home run of the season and 9th leadoff home run, tying Jimmy Rollins (2007) for most in a season by Phillie.
