Three years ago Sunday, the Phillies won their series finale over the Giants, and it did little — if anything — to improve morale. They moved to 22-29, six games out of a Wild Card spot and 12.5 out of the NL East lead. It was the last game in Joe Girardi’s tenure as manager. The Phillies lost their fourth straight game on Sunday to cap off a sweep by the Brewers. It moved them to 36-23. The point of the non-parallel: Things could be worse.
