Overview

  • Trea Turner enters the weekend on a 10-game hitting streak, batting .522 (24-for-46) with a five-hit game Wednesday as Philadelphia completed a sweep of the Mariners.
  • Turner has 21 hits over his last seven games, a first for a Phillies player in 95 years, and he downplayed the run by saying, “Consistency is nice.”
  • His burst has raised his batting average by 22 points and put him in position to contend for the National League batting title, according to team reporting.
  • Bryson Stott has joined the surge, hitting .354 in August after a sluggish July, reinforcing the lineup’s depth.
  • The Phillies are 74-53 with a multi-game NL East lead, and despite uneven pitching they’ve surged behind the bats; Taijuan Walker is slated to start Friday against the Nationals.
