The Phillies, a team that now has only 42 wins and sent away their best players at the trade deadline, just swept the Padres. A week ago, the very idea of it would be laughable, but here we are. Go ahead and vent your feelings. Anger, disappointment, frustration, it's all utterly reasonable right now.
Andrew Cashner gave the Phillies the lead in the first, and never got it back. Odrubel Herrera hit a one out single to right, and then Ryan Howard hit an RBI double. Cash buckled down after that, throwing four scoreless innings before Herrera hit a leadoff homer in the sixth.
