With Bryce Harper back in the fold and in the third spot in the lineup, the Phillies seem to have found a bit of the swagger that led them to the NLCS in 2022. Philadelphia won five straight games before losing 4-0 on Sunday in Colorado, not coincidentally after Harper was ejected for charging the Rockies' dugout and being ejected.
