The Fightins visit the Friendly Confines
The series against the Marlins is in the rearview mirror and a reunion with the Braves, last seen on opening weekend, is ahead. But before the Phillies turn their attention to the Peach State, they pay a visit to the ivy-covered jewelbox that is Wrigley Field for a three-game set. Rookie Michael Mercado is scheduled to make the start, his first. Making one’s first-ever start in enemy territory is tough, but if the last few road trips are anything to measure by, he’ll see plenty of friendly fans in the Wrigley stands.
