Over a week ago, I began to write this article detailing the Phillies’ next series as they were set to host the New York Yankees. Then, everything changed when the Marlins attacked.
A week later, following seven days of non-action and zero players testing positive, the Phillies can finally return to the diamond. But of course, they will have to do so against one of the hottest teams in baseball. The Yankees, 7-1, went 2-1 against the Nationals to start the season before stopping for two days due to their canceled series in Philadelphia. Since the canceled series last week, the Yankees haven’t lost a game, sweeping the Orioles in two games and the Red Sox in three.
