Thanks to the heroics of Matt Vierling, the Phillies’ five-game losing streak came to a close on Wednesday night. It was great to see Vierling come through with a five-hit night, including the game winning single in the tenth. But if the Phillies want to continue to win games, they’ll likely need similar heroics from their franchise player, who hasn’t delivered many of them since his return from the injured list.
Record: 93-55 (Second place in National League East, one game back)
The last time they met
The Phillies visited Truist Park last weekend and thanks to the efforts of Ronald Acuna, Jr, and a quiet offense, they were swept in the three-game set.
