What happened: Todd Zolecki noted on 'MLB Tonight' that the Philadelphia Phillies have entered an offensive funk at the worst possible time ahead of Game 162 against the Tampa Bay Rays. The team is trying to secure a postseason berth despite their recent struggles at the plate.
Why it matters: Philadelphia enters the regular-season finale controlling its own destiny for the playoffs. The lineup's slide comes as the team attempts to hold off the Arizona Diamondbacks, who trail by one game in the wild-card standings.
By the numbers: The Phillies sit at 81-74 and have lost four consecutive games, managing just one run over the first two matchups of this series against the Rays. Tampa Bay enters at 94-62 having already secured the AL East division title.
What to watch: The Phillies and Rays conclude the regular season on Sunday.
