Indians, Phillies losing streaks close gap in MLB

There doesn't seem to be a Major League team willing to run away and hide as the baseball season heads into the hot days of summer.

The Cleveland Indians and the Philadelphia Phillies were both rolling for a while with the best record in the majors, but the Indians have now lost three in a row and the Phillies have dropped four straight. Surprisingly, the Arizona Diamondback are inching closer to the best record in baseball as they now sit seven games over the .500 mark with a .559 winning percentage. The Indians are now at .589, while the Phillies sport a .586 won-loss ratio.

Which teams are in it to win it?

As for the Diamondbacks, if they can continue their winning ways and if the San Francisco Giants would decide to go south for a few games, it's very possible this group of D'backs could be embedded in first place with some breathing room by the All-Star break. The D'backs need to improve on their record away from home though, right now Arizona is 13-14 on the road and 20-12 at home. You got to hand it to Mr. Gibson, he's got 'em fired up.
