Phillies' Surge: Defense, Pitching, Righties Need Fixing

The Phillies have been on a ten-game winning streak under interim manager Don Mattingly, improving their record to nineteen wins and twenty-two losses. However, they still face challenges in defense, starting pitching, and right-handed hitters against lefties. Despite being dead last in defensive runs saved, their pitching ERA is only four-point-five-seven due to a strong fielding independent pitching rank of five. Starting pitching has been inconsistent, averaging only five innings per start, and right-handed hitters have struggled against lefties, hitting just two-seventeen with a point-six-five-seven OPS. With lefties like Ranger Suárez set to face the Red Sox, the teams right-handed hitters need to continue their recent success to build momentum.
