“Why the Phillies Hold the Key to Unlocking Mikolas’ Biggest Weakness”
The Phillies have been one of the best teams in the league for about three or more years now. I don’t know exactly how far to go back with them, because honestly, it feels like they’ve at least been relevant since Chase Utley was manning second base and Ryan Howard was hitting bombs for them. Times have changed and now they have Trea Turner shuffling around the infield and Kyle Schwarber hitting moon shots for them. There team is loaded with offense and should have very few spurts of offensive struggles. They haven’t struggled to score this season with at least four runs in over half of their games already. The question probably will be how well their pitching staff holds up this season. Today, they send out Christopher Sanchez to the hill in hopes of getting a game against the Cardinals. This will be his third start. In his first start, he went 5.1 innings and allowed just a solo homer. In the second start, it was a little bit tougher, going 5.2 innings and allowing two homers and four earned runs. He has held the Cardinals to just one hit in 13 at-bats against him, though.
