Philadelphia Philies continue to struggle despite Trea Turner's heriocs

While Trea Turner has been a beacon of hope for the Philadelphia Phillies, they still find themselves struggling in their division. Only the Washington Nationals are below them in the division as their disappointing 23-26 record for the MLB season puts them in a tough spot.

Next up for the Phillies is a four-game series against the high-flying Atlanta Braves and a win against them may be the boost they need to get back on track.
