Power Score: 1590
The Phillies began the final week of the first half on the highest of notes — they swept the Dodgers behind a pitching staff that held the mighty Los Angeles offense to just five runs across the three-game series. Unfortunately, Philadelphia followed up that triumph with a series loss to the lowly A’s that included an 18-3 blowout on Sunday. Zack Wheeler was scratched from his scheduled start with a minor back injury and Ranger Suárez is also dealing with back tightness. Their ailments will keep both starters from pitching in the All-Star Game, though they’re expected to recover in time to make their next scheduled starts. Regardless of how the week ended, the Phillies carry baseball’s best record into the break and are a cut above the rest of the contenders.
