Deadspin | Surging Phillies look to flex muscles vs. Rangers
The Philadelphia Phillies had reason to be concerned after Trea Turner sustained a hamstring injury early this month, but nothing seems to derail this group. Philadelphia improved to 13-3 without Turner with its a 5-2 victory over the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers on Tuesday. The host Phillies will look for their fifth straight win on Wednesday evening when they play the second contest of their three-game interleague series against the Rangers. On Tuesday, Bryce Harper hit a solo home run and double, and Alec Bohm added two hits and two RBIs as the Phillies won for the 27th time in 33 games.
