    Bryce Harper was about the last Phillie in the clubhouse still in uniform packing for a seven-game road trip that could decide if the team is really going to be a player in the NL wild-card race. His hat flipped backward and his cleats off, Harper's Phanatic socks peeked out of his pants legs as he shuffled items around his locker, his back pockets as inside out as the offense.

    Harper had few solutions for the team's recent malaise.

    "Just keep playing Philly baseball," Harper said. "Keep being the same team."

    That hasn't been good enough for the Phillies since the All-Star break, where a 6-15 record has knocked them from NL East contenders to a team fading from contention for a playoff berth. Leury Garcia hit a grand slam, Eloy Jimenezadded a three-run shot and Tim Anderson also went deep to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 10-5 win over the Phillies on Sunday.
