With their first series win since sweeping the Dodgers last month, the scuffling Phillies demonstrated why they're still the NL's team to beat.
LOS ANGELES — A trip to Los Angeles might have been the perfect remedy to shake the Phillies from their malaise. One month ago, the Dodgers absorbed a shellacking in Philadelphia thorough enough that it left no doubt about the top squad in the National League's hierarchy. 'They're clearly a better team than we are right now,' manager Dave Roberts acknowledged on July 11, after his Dodgers got outscored by 14 runs over three games.
And on Wednesday, one of the only Phillies sluggers who hasn't been mired in mediocrity over the past few weeks might have single-handedly blasted the group out if its slumber. It looked like the Phillies might be destined for a seventh straight series loss before Kyle Schwarber, who has an OPS over 1.000 since the middle of June, came to the rescue. 'The biggest thing is just being able to come through for this team,' Schwarber said after annihilating three home runs.
