This is the team's second time addressing this issue to the league. We'll have to keep an eye on if the league does anything about this.Are the Philadelphia Phillies starting to get hot?Cincinnati Reds v Philadelphia PhilliesThe Philadelphia Phillies have been red hot in June. They have a 5-2 record this month and are coming off a three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers.Their pitching has been great. Zack Wheeler and Taijuan Walker had dominating starts earlier this week. They're also getting some help from the bullpen. Jose Alvarado has been reinstated from the IL. He had been on the IL since May 10 due to inflammation in his elbow.Alvarado's resurgence should provide a boost for the team. He was on fire before being sidelined with elbow issues. Opposing teams will have a tough time scoring runs late against Philadelphia. Their bullpen is stacked with solid veterans such as Craig Kimbrel, Gregory Soto, and Seranthony Dominguez.The Phillies are currently in third place in the National League East with a 30-32 record. They're five games behind the second-place Miami Marlins. They have their work cut out for them in the division.
