The Philadelphia Phillies recently faced a tough series against the Houston Astros, managing only a single run over three games while their pitching staff was solid, allowing just five runs in total. Shortstop Trea Turner remains optimistic about the team's potential for improvement, despite their struggles this season. Notably, the Phillies are only half a game behind the New York Mets in the NL East.

Turner acknowledges the difficulties the team has faced, citing injuries and a lackluster offense, especially with Bryce Harper out. However, he believes there are still areas for growth. The starting rotation has been a bright spot for the team, and if the offense can find its rhythm, the Phillies could become a formidable playoff contender. Turner's positive mindset reflects his belief in the team's ability to bounce back and seize their chance at the division title.
