The Phillies pulled out another dramatic win tonight, and maybe this team is starting to get on a roll. Granted, there are still glaring problems, most notably with the bullpen and bench. But if Eaton and Garcia can give them quality starts, that will take some of the pressure off those concerns.
Philly is 2-8 vs. the NL East’s top two teams, the Braves and Mets. That makes them 17-12 against everyone else. True, the Phils will have to beat Atlanta and NY at some point to truly make noise, but they might not be as bad as their record. They entered tonight averaging 5.2 runs per game, second to only the Mets’ 5.3. Only Florida and Colorado, however, were giving up more runs per outing. Getting Howard healthy and Eaton and Garcia going would be big pluses.
