The last week saw the Phillies run roughshod over some of the National League’s lesser lights, going 6-1 against the Reds and Pirates. In theory, the easy schedule continues this week as they travel to Arizona to play a bad Diamondbacks team. But if you recall, the Diamondbacks were even worse last year, and that didn’t stop the Phillies from suffering a sweep when they visited them.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Record: 59-67 (Fourth place in National League West, 29 games back)
The manager
Torey Lovullo is in his sixth season as Diamondbacks manager, but it isn’t certain if he’ll get a seventh.
