After getting shutout in Friday's game and struggling again at the plate Saturday and Sunday (other than walk-off homer in bottom of the 9th), the Philadelphia Phillies bats entered this series having struggled out of the gate after the All Star break. Those struggles have continued, other than Tuesday, as the Philadelphia Phillies bats continue to be rather quiet since the All Star break.
Though the Philadelphia Phillies finally got their bats going again in Tuesday's wild victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, a return to the norm is likely here. That's because the Philadelphia Phillies had been struggling and Ross Stripling has a 4.32 ERA in his 3 starts in his career against them.
