'Vintage' Nola overcomes early-season woes in dominant start vs. Cubs
CHICAGO -- Aaron Nola has been a steady, reliable presence in the Phillies’ rotation for the majority of his big league career.

After 'frustrating' stretch at plate, Phillies bats break out vs. Cubs
CHICAGO -- The Phillies believe in their offense, even if it has been in a bit of a rut lately. Since starting the year 7-2, Philadelphia had fallen to .500 for the first time all season with Friday’s 4-0 loss. Slugging had been an issue, as between April 8 (the

'We've just got to be better': Phils remain confident despite sweep
NEW YORK -- It’s not time to panic, but it is time to play better. Much better, and soon. “I’d rather you guys say it’s a little early,” Bryce Harper said following Wednesday’s 4-3 loss to the Mets in 10 innings at Citi Field. “I don’t like that, just because

Sánchez, Phils cautiously optimistic after lefty exits with forearm soreness
NEW YORK -- Cristopher Sánchez cannot tell a lie. He had not pitched well through two innings in Tuesday’s 5-1 loss to the Mets at Citi Field. Phillies pitching coach Caleb Cotham visited him on the mound twice, which was unusual. Sánchez’s velocity was down. He wasn’t sharp. So, after
