The Phillies are streaking again.

That hasn’t always meant good things the last roller-coaster of a month in Phillies land — but this time, it does, as the Phillies have gotten strong starting pitching, reliable bullpen contributions and a good-or-at-least-timely offense en route to a five-game winning streak.

MLB.com‘s Phillies beat writer, Todd Zolecki, joins this episode of the Phillies Nation Podcast to discuss that stretch and a whole lot more. He and Nathan Ackerman talk about solid showings from the starting rotation and bullpen, a lineup that might feel a little weird but is producing nonetheless, Rhys Hoskins eyeing a late-season return and the recent changes to the Phillies’ ownership group — including what those changes signify.
