Toronto has gone 36-24 (.600) all-time against the Phillies, including their 1993 World Series win. That combined regular and postseason record is the best for the Blue Jays against any single opponent (minimum 50 games played).

The Phillies are only one game back of the Rockies and Brewers for the final NL wild card spot despite having the fewest hits in MLB at 1008. Only 10 teams in MLB history have made the playoffs while ranking in the bottom three in hits.

The Blue Jays swept the Orioles in their last series after being swept by the Yankees in their previous series. They gave up just five total runs in their sweep of the O's, their fewest runs allowed in a three-game series since June 27-29, 2017 when they also allowed five runs against Baltimore.

Maikel Franco is slashing .317/.364/.568 with 13 home runs over his last 58 games after slashing .241/.281/.405 with eight homers over his first 58 games. Franco has increased his batting average by 49 points from last season (.230 to .279), second-highest improvement among qualifying NL players.

Kendrys Morales is on a seven-game hitting streak and has has hit five home runs in his last four games. Among AL players, only Oakland's Khris Davis has hit more home runs in a four-game span this season (six in July).

Kevin Pillar has recorded a hit in his last eight games, including five multi-hit games. He has an .860 OPS since the All-Star break after posting an OPS of just .686 before the break.

HP - Hoberg, 1B - Knight, 2B - Whitson, 3B - Davis

TORONTO -- The Philadelphia Phillies are an example of how a team can turn things around from one season to the next.
That should provide some encouraging new to fans at the Rogers Centre who have watched the Toronto Blue Jays struggle this season and last after reaching the American League Championship Series in 2015-16.

Phillies' turnaround provides hope for Blue Jays

TORONTO (AP)  Jake Arrieta wasn't too happy with the effort his Philadelphia Phillies produced against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Kendrys Morales homered for the fifth straight game, Billy McKinney hit a two-run shot and Toronto beat Philadelphia 4-2 on Friday night, handing the slumping Phillies their fifth loss in six games.
