The Phils have a three-game win streak and there are signs that some things are getting better. For example:
- Tommy Hunter hasn't allowed a run in his last three appearances, dropping his ERA down to a quasi-respectable 3.97.
- Rhys Hoskins is hitting .304 with an OPS of 1.037 in his last six games, He's homered twice and knocked in three runs.
- Andrew McCutchen is hitting .355 in his last seven games, driving in eight runs in that span.
- Brandon Workman is still a high-wire act to watch. He's allowed eight hits and two walks in just 3.2 innings—not the kind of results you want to see from a closer.
The Phillies have a 34.5 percent chance of making the playoffs this year, and they'll try to sweep the World Series champion Nationals tonight with Spencer Howard as the starter. Let's hope manager Joe Girardi turns him loose and lets him throw more than 81 pitches. Let's see what he can do. (Photo from NBCSports Philadelphia)
