By John Town
The Phillies picked up a valuable series win at home against the Rockies this week. Here are five things we learned from the series.
The Phillies were a team looking for something to hang their hat on coming into this week’s series against the Rockies. They had not won a series in three weeks, dropping 10 of 14 games after holding first place May 26. Things were getting ugly and fans were getting frustrated.
After a day off Monday, Philadelphia turned things around this week. They picked up two wins thanks to brilliant starting pitching and the offense finally showing up. Their nine runs in Thursday’s win were the most they have scored since May 9 and their 13 hits were the most since April 13.
With the series over and Phillies sitting at 35-31, let’s take a look at five things we learned from the series.
