After a bizarre series in Milwaukee where the Phillies were walloped on Friday night but came away with a series win, the club looks to build on consecutive wins while welcoming the St. Louis Cardinals to Citizens Bank Park. Both clubs enter play on Monday with identical 37-32 records. The teams split a four-game set last month at Busch Stadium, and both sit in third place in their respective divisions….

It’s even rarer for that team to win the contest, but that’s what happened Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park.
