After the Phillies spent Labor Day teeing off against Brewers pitching, they’ll look to have similar success on Tuesday for game two of the three-game set in Milwaukee. The Phillies hit six home runs in the first game, and while it’s unlikely to expect that two days in a row, I’d be very happy if they could give us at least half of that number tonight.
