The Philadelphia Phillies have gotten off to a poor start this season.
Through two series the Phillies are 1-5, and there is a cause for concern.
One of the main issues is their pitching, as they have given up 42 runs in six games.
The road woes have been very difficult to begin the season.
Luckily, the Phillies are ready for their home opener on Friday.
The reigning NL Champions host the Cincinnati Reds in their first home series since the World Series last year.
The team looks ready to right the ship this weekend.

Even though it is still early in the season, the Phillies are already 4.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves in the division.
They have to start winning just to keep pace with the scorching-hot Braves.
The Reds are a rebuilding team, and this is a series the Phillies should be able to win.
If not, panic may start to set in for fans.
They need some of their lesser-known players to step up.
The emergence of Alec Bohm has been good for the Phillies so far.
Many people expected the young third baseman to have a big season, and he is hitting .350 so far on the year.
It will be interesting to see if the Phillies can start to turn their season around at home.
