Slow start to September continues as Phillies drop 3 of 4 to Braves originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
To suggest that seven games in September – heck, for more dramatic effect let’s make that Seven Games in September! – will end up deciding how deeply the Phillies play into October would be a little too glib, a bit too hyperbolic.
Which doesn’t mean it might not play out that way.
This final month’s schedule looked pretty much like a routine stretch of road except for the four-games against the Braves that ended with a 4-1 loss Wednesday night plus three games in Atlanta next week.
