Welcome to July: Phillies vs. Cardinals series preview

The Phillies ended June with a bang, hitting five home runs in their series finale against the Braves. Overall, the month was a successful one for the Phillies, as their 19-8 record got them back to the fringes of contention. Can they follow that up with another strong month of July? Or will they revert back to the form they showed in May when a 10-18 record got their manager fired?

July promises to be a little tougher as they don’t have the same string of weaker opponents that they faced for most of June. And they also won’t have the NL MVP in the lineup.
