Frustrated but showing real progress since returning from Triple-A—10 innings, 3 ER, 10 Ks—Painter’s breakout is critical for a rotation struggling to find consistency. His next start against the Cardinals hinges on staying healthy; if he does, he could be the key to keeping the Phillies’ playoff hopes alive.
