PHILADELPHIA — At their lowest point, on June 2, the Phillies were 25-32 and eight games out of first place. Then they went on a 13-2 roll, and when the week began, they were ... eight games out of first place.
Consider it a reminder that the Braves still reign in the NL East.
The gap is closing, to be sure. The Phillies even ousted the Braves in a playoff series last year. But just in case anyone began to think the road to the division crown would run through anywhere other than Atlanta, another refresher came Tuesday night.
