Phillies Struggle, Yankees Threat | New York Yankees News
Description
The Phillies are in a slump since the All-Star break, plagued by shaky bullpen, sloppy defense, and poor clutch hitting — even their left-handed stars like Harper and Schwarber are batting under .200. Meanwhile, right-handed hitters like Turner and Bohm are stepping up, though Turner’s ground balls to short are turning into chaos. Facing the Yankees this weekend, they’ll need to contend with Paul Goldschmidt’s unexpected resurgence — a 38-year-old power hitter thriving against lefties, though his righty struggles and looming free agency make him a temporary threat. With no clear fifth starter, the Phillies may turn to bullpen ace Brian Keller, a 32-year-old rookie in the majors — expectations are low, but the pressure is high.
