NL East Check-in: Phillies SURGING, Mets SPIRALING, Marlins and Nationals Are in the Hunt
Ryan, Peter and Aram open with a full NL East check-in as the division landscape shifts in a hurry. The Phillies have been one of baseball's hottest teams since firing Rob Thomson, going 34-17 since that move and slashing their deficit to the Atlanta Braves from 10.5 games all the way down to 5.5 — and Tuesday night's wild 14-9 comeback win over Washington, which featured an eight-run ninth inning capped by a Bryson Stott three-run bomb, is a perfect microcosm of how this team is wired right now. Then the conversation turns to the Mets, whose rotation has quietly buried what looked like a contender on paper — Kodai Senga posting an ERA north of 10.00 in recent weeks, Freddy Peralta's strikeout rate cratering to a career low, and David Peterson sitting at a 6.09 ERA with no relief in sight. The Marlins and Nationals both enter play with identical records and one game out of a Wild Card spot, raising a genuine question about which of the two surprise clubs is actually for real. The guys close with a major report out of Minnesota: sources indicate the Twins' front office wants to move Joe Ryan and Ryan Jeffers at the deadline to accelerate the rebuild, but new owner Tom Pohlad may have other ideas given just how wide open the American League looks this summer.
