It is always fun for the fans when the Phillies go on a tear, but how about defeating two playoff contenders, one a division rival, in connecting series’? Let the fun begin!
Earlier today, the Phillies, fresh off a sweep of the Atlanta Braves, finished up a four game series against the Milwaukee Brewers, taking three out of four at Miller Park where the Brewers are 51-22. There had been many questions earlier:
“Will the rotation continue their consistent dominance into September?”
“Does the young bullpen possess the longevity and experience to pitch well the rest of the season and into the playoffs?”
“Will the offense continue to be streaky?”
Well, this is what we learned in the last seven days.
