Facing a last place team, the Phillies did what they needed to do: Kick the crap out of them. That was the most dominant series the Phillies have played against the Cardinals in quite some time. It’s telling that the finale was a three-run win that featured a gem of a starting pitching performance, and it was viewed as somewhat of a disappointment.
The #Phillies outscored St. Louis by 22-3 in this series.
Only 4th time in history they've outscored STL by 19+ in a series, and first time in 114 years:
May 1896 (3G): 36-13 (+23)
Aug 1897 (3): 30-11 (+19)
Aug 1909 (5): 38-15 (+23)
Aug 2023 (3): 22-3 (+19)
