Joe Girardi Comments on Job Security Amid Phillies’ Struggles

After the Phillies lost their 10th game in the last 14 tries on Sunday night in a 5–4 walk-off defeat to the Mets, Philadelphia manager Joe Girardi said he is not concerned about his job security.

Girardi, who is in his third-and-final year of his contract, has seen his struggling roster fall 10.5 games back of the first-place Mets in the NL East.
