Just a few weeks ago, there were many fans and critics who were saying that the Philadelphia Phillies should be panicking right now and have to make some massive adjustments heading into one of the final stretches of the season, it seems that the team is in control once more as the team has finally emerged at the top of the MLB’s latest Power Rankings.

Many thought that the Phillies would be falling out of impressive performances long before the playoffs get here. Instead, the team responded to all the criticism by winning impressive games, battling all the way back to a seven-game division lead once more. Now they are at the top of the National League with the best record, and it seems that the team is ready to roll towards a promising run that will see them back at the races now more than ever.

This has been one of the greatest seasons from the Phillies so far, and it cannot be denied that they are having some hero moments from multiple players, with the most recent coming from Weston Wilson, who managed to deliver a hit for the 10th cycle in the history of the franchise. That says a lot about the Phillies’ grand pace that is setting them up for a promising run that will deliver them a promising championship with high hopes.

A Costly Blunder Against the Nationals

Despite the loss to the Washington Nationals, it does seem that the Philadelphia Phillies have put up a more improved performance compared to their previous runs, and it cannot be denied that this is one of the few positives that they can take away from this costly blunder against the Nationals.

Still, this is far more from the bigger picture that everyone is looking for at this point. The Phillies have vastly improved on their offensive unit and even in the pitching side. The slow start in the season turned out to be quite a surprise as the team enjoyed some impressive strides in the game now more than ever, and that says a lot about how they are expected to keep on putting up more rallies all the way to the final stretch of the season.

So far, the Phillies are getting what they want at this point so far, and it cannot be denied that this is going to be a fun ride for many fans as they continue to bring a promising performance over the course of the season, and this is a chance that they cannot pass up.

A Silver Lining in Struggles

Prior to having a seven-game division lead in the National League East, the Phillies were far from their usual selves and struggled mightily when it came to multiple fronts, especially on the pitching side. So far, this led to multiple teams in NL East, such as the Atlanta Braves, to close in the gap between them and the Phillies. However, it does seem that the Philadelphia squad has learned from its mistakes and have channeled some impressive victories of their own.

So far, the Phillies have been on the fence about their pitching. They are throwing at a lower success rate and are striking out fewer and fewer players back then. But then they managed to channel their impressive games and come up with a strong run that would send them back to the top of the standings, and this time, they are gunning to keep it on their hands for good.
