Podcast: Harper returns, but how do the Phillies correct course after L.A. sweep?
Bryce Harper is back — already — and his 3-for-3, two-walk performance on Wednesday should have made for a celebratory conclusion to the Phillies’ road trip.
Instead, they blew a 5-0 lead en route to a sweep at the hands of the Dodgers, souring Harper’s return and making for a particularly long cross-country flight home. What went wrong for the Phillies in L.A., and what do they need to fix to get back to their winning ways of the previous couple weeks?
Tim Kelly and Nathan Ackerman tackled those questions — as well as Harper’s return itself, the Phillies’ starting pitching issues of late and the new-look lineup with Harper back in it — on a Twitter Spaces edition of the Phillies Nation Podcast following Wednesday’s loss.
