It’s not just Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Zack Wheeler and Cristopher Sánchez keying the Phillies’ turnaround in May. It’s supporting players like Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott and Anderw Painter, who have started to play much better.

Three Phillies trending upward in May

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/a8fb6a14-5ca2-4f25-9875-b45000b5fddd/transcript

The Phillies are 15-4 since they changed managers. Why?

It starts with Zack Wheeler and Cristophe Sánchez. It continues with Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber. Basically, their pitching has been excellent, and they’re getting big contributions from two of the game’s biggest starts.

And wouldn’t you know it: the Phillies’ playoff odds have shot through the roof!

We asked you for your Phillies questions, and once again you delivered.

Can the Phillies make the World Series? Should Don Mattingly change the lineup? What will the Phillies pursue before the Aug. 3 trade deadline? What are their options at third base, if Alec Bohm continues to struggle?
