The Philadelphia Phillies offense is slumping amid a three-game losing streak, the New York Mets’ disastrous stretch continues, and Atlanta Braves center fielder Michael Harris continues his hot streak. That and more in today’s NL East Notes.
1. Philadelphia Phillies: 69-52
A nightmare travel day led the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-2 defeat against the Washington Nationals in D.C. — their third straight loss. In that span, the offense has managed just three runs total.
Beyond the offensive struggles, the loss falls on Rob Thomson, who mismanaged the seventh inning with starter Jesus Luzardo.
