Phillies Shake Up, Mattingly's Win Streak

0:00On April 29th, the Philadelphia Phillies just shook things up big time by firing manager Rob Thompson right before their series against the sand, Francisco Giants. Thompson stepped in back in the 2022 season after Joe Gerardi got the boot, leading them to some solid regular season runs but stumbling in the playoffs every time. Now, Don Mattingley's taking over as interim skipper and it paid off quick with a shut out 7-0 win in the opener. After dropping 10 straight games, the Phillies snagged two out of their last three, chasing their first winning streak since that four game run from, March 31st through April 4th. Fans and players seem fired up about the change, breathing new life into a squad that was slumping hard. That first victory under Mattingley sparked a real momentum, especially with the home crowd at Citizens Bank Park, roaring back to life after the rough. Patch, sticking with what works, Mattingley's rolling out the exact same lineup for Game 2 against Giants Ace Logan Webb. Treya Turner's leading off on a four game hit streak after his four-hit night, followed by Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper's swinging hot and Brandon Marsh, who's been their top bat so far with a 298 average and four homers.
