The Phillies Need To Help Themselves This Weekend
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — By May of last year their season was over. The Phillies were 17-34, sitting in last place in the National League East, 15.5 games out of first place and sinking even faster.
A year later, a new outlook in new manager Gabe Kapler, mixed in with some fine pitching by Aaron Nola and Jake Arrieta, and some timely hitting, most notably by Nick Williams, and the Phillies are 32-28, three games out of first in the NL East.

This weekend could mean a lot.
The Phillies are coming off of a 3-7 road trip in which they blew a 5-3 lead in a walk-off grand slam and were outscored in San Francisco 12-1.
