The Summer of 2025 is winding down and while the Phillies have lost their last three games, the Phils still lead the New York Mets in the National League East by five games. The Phillies are in our Nation's Capital for three more games over the weekend as they wrap up a ten-game road trip.
The Phillies' offense has gone cold: In their last three games, the offense has only produced three runs with only five extra base hits and striking out 27 times. The Phillies offense needs to get back in gear and take the pressure off the starting rotation.
Phillies Ace Zack Wheeler gets the ball Friday Night but he hasn’t been pitching well of late. In fact in the month of August Wheeler is 1-1 with a 4.09 ERA and has surrendered four Home runs. On Sunday, Aaron Nola will make his return from the Injured List for his first start back with the team against the Nationals.
The Eagles have been hosting the Cleveland Browns in joint practices at the Nova Care complex in South Philly. This Saturday, the Eagles and Browns will square off in the second pre-season game of 2025. Kickoff is at 1pm and you can listen to the game on 97.3 ESPN Radio South Jersey.
This Friday will be the last Lifeguard race of the 2025 summer season for The Locker Room. I will be at the Gowdy’s Lifeguard race in Ventnor and we will have all the interviews and results from the race on Saturday morning for our final Beach Patrol report of the summer.
