A favorable schedule and elite pitching guide the Phillies to an 8-2 homestand

The Philadelphia Phillies went 8-2 on their 10-game homestead and have now won six straight games after sweeping both the Colorado Rockies and the Chicago White Sox. 

Trust me, the Rockies and White Sox are pretty freaking horrible – in fact, they are the two worst teams in Major League Baseball. Colorado did manage to win yesterday and are now 5-16 on the season, while the White Sox are 3-18 on the year with a historically bad run differential (-71).

At the same time, you can’t take beating bad baseball teams for granted.

The Phillies are now 14-8 on the season, 8-2 over their last 10 games, and have won six straight – kicking off a 10-game road trip tonight in Cincinnati.

Phillies Lineup: Who’s Cold? 

Nick Castellanos is batting .208 with 5 RBI over his last 15 games – with 13 strikeouts. 

Whit Merrifield is batting .129 with one home run and an RBI over last 15 games. 

Bryson Stott is batting .213 with one home run and 6 RBI over the last 15 games – with 9 strikeouts. 

Phillies Starting Rotation is ELITE 

Aaron Nola pitched eight innings on Sunday afternoon’s win over the Chicago White Sox. He allowed just four hits and two earned runs while striking out seven – all while throwing just 91 pitches. 

On Saturday, Zack Wheeler tossed 7.1 scoreless innings, with two walks and eight strikeouts – allowing just one hit over 106 pitches thrown. 

Spencer Turnbull carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning on Friday night, allowing just one hit over seven innings in a shutout victory for the Phillies over the White Sox. He has a 1.23 ERA in four starts with the Phillies this season. 

Cristopher Sanchez threw six innings last week, allowing five hits, no earned runs, and a walk while striking out 10. 

Ranger Suarez threw a complete game shutout against the Rockies, allowing seven hits while striking out eight. 

Up Next for the Phillies

Bryce Harper will head to the paternity list, missing the start of a 10-game road trip for the Phillies – which begins tonight in Cincinnati against the Reds.

Much like the rest of the Philadelphia Phillies lineup, Harper started the 2024 season ice cold but has returned to norm ever since he crushed three home runs against the Reds on April 2nd.

Since that game, Harper is batting .279 with four homers, 14 RBI and an .874 OPS. He’s now batting .241 with 4 home runs and a .773 OPS.
