So far in the World Series the Phillies have lost to the Yankees, the Red Sox, the Orioles, and the Blue Jays.
All they need is Tampa for the full AL East collection.

My point
is that while we needed to score runs, we needed to score runs with base hits and walks to have base runners on continually.
