The Phillies won another series over the weekend, their third straight and the second against a potential playoff team. It was a promising six-game homestand in which the Phils went 4-2 and saw their offense begin to slug the ball with a little more regularity. The bullpen largely pitched pretty well and most of the starters did their thing effectively, too.
With an off-day Monday, the Phillies now get ready for a little Interleague play, with a pair of three-game series against the Rays in Tampa and the Guardians in Cleveland. With a chance to breathe, there were some items from the weekend that I thought were notable for discussion.
