The Philadelphia Phillies hope the challenge of a tough ballpark will awaken their slumbering bats when they open a three-game road series against the San Francisco Giants in Oracle Park on Monday night.
The Phillies are 5-4 in large part because of an inconsistent offense. Their 4-1 loss at Colorado on Sunday was their fifth game scoring three or fewer runs.
