| (MySportsbook) - The Philadelphia Phillies must start winning if they want to maintain the top spot in the National League East. Tonight, the slipping division leaders will play the first of three games versus the St. Louis Cardinals at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies opened a 10-game homestand by losing three of four games to the rival New York Mets, including Monday's 10-9 loss in the series finale. They battled back from a nine-run deficit, but it wasn't enough to extend the lead in the NL East. Florida is |
