After a series against the team with the best record in the National League, the Phillies will travel to Pittsburgh to play a Pirates team that doesn’t appear to be quite as strong.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Record: 45-50, Fourth place in National League Central
The Phillies visited Pittsburgh in July 2018, and won two out of three. The loss in the finale prevented the Phillies from sweeping the seven-game season series.
Wait, who was the hero?
In the first game of that series, the biggest star for the Phillies was backup catcher Andrew Knapp.
