The Philadelphia Phillies (19-10, 2nd in NL East) will be heading for their second consecutive three-game road series win when they face the Los Angeles Angels (10-18, 4th in AL West) in the first game of their interleague MLB battle on Monday night.
On Sunday April 28th, the Philadelphia Phillies emerged victorious over the San Diego Padres with a final score of 8-6.
The Phillies have bucked the trend this season. They usually struggle early in the season, and need a big late-spring or early-summer surge to get their season back on track and position themselves to compete for the World Series.
This year, the Phillies haven't wasted any time and have come out of the gates firing on all cylinders. They are 19-10 after a weekend sweep of the Padres in San Diego.
The Angels, meanwhile, are facing a difficult test as they prepare for their next three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies, coming off a disappointing defeat to the Twins. The Angels lost the last game of the series by a score of 11-5.
