The starters are getting deeper, the back of the bullpen has been lights out and several bats are hot as the Phillies return home to take on the worst team in the National League. CSeidmanNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the story.
The Phils won the series against the White Sox and went 4-3 on their road trip through Cincinnati and Chicago. They come home 8-11 to take on a terrible Rockies team that has lost eight in a row and was plastered twice in the last three days by the lowly Pirates.
"The offense is clicking and the pitchers are starting to get it going, six-plus innings now," Walker said. Those four combined for four perfect innings with two strikeouts apiece in the first game of the series. On Wednesday, Soto quickly put out a two-on, one-out fire, Kimbrel pitched a scoreless eighth and Alvarado was 1-2-3 in the ninth.
"I watched Wheeler pitch and it seemed like the two-seam was working really well to the righties, getting in on them," he said."They were chasing them in. I just kept the same game plan to see if they'd make an adjustment and they never did. The backdoor two-seam was good and I threw my splitters when I needed to.
