Entering the second game of the Philadelphia Phillies series with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the team will be looking to do more damage.

Philadelphia was able to get the win in the series opener by a score of 2-1, earning a massive victory. Both the Phillies and Diamondbacks are fighting for playoff positioning in the National League wild-card standings, with Philadelphia just ahead of Arizona.

This series could have a drastic impact on how things turn out, and for the Phillies, it could create some separation. Right now, Philadelphia is in a good place for the playoffs, but nothing is guaranteed with a full month left to go in the season.

So heading into the second game, the Phillies will be looking to build upon the lead in the standings. 

Ahead of the game, the Phillies have released the lineup for the matchup with the Diamondbacks. Within it, slugger Kyle Schwarber will be leading off again, giving Philadelphia a true source of power at the top of the lineup.

Schwarber has put together another strong season for the Phillies, hitting .243 with 40 home runs and 82 RBIs, while posting an OPS of .883. His home run totals mark the fourth time in the last five seasons that the slugger has been able to get to 40 home runs in a season.

Entering the second game of the series with Arizona, the Phillies own a record of 78-60 for the year. This is good enough for second place within the NL East division, with the team sitting four games back of the Atlanta Braves.

Philadelphia has won eight of its last 10 games overall, looking like they are clicking at the right time. But there is still a full month left to go, and the Phillies can't let their feet off the gas.

This team will need to play solid baseball over the next few weeks to make sure that they can get into the postseason. And if they can, this group does have the feel of a team ready to do some damage.

The Phillies are a veteran group of players who have been to the postseason almost every year, but they haven't been able to get over the hump to win a title. So, the only measuring stick for them is a World Series or bust, and given how they've been playing, they could be a true contender.

After the series with Arizona, the Phillies will be hosting the Braves in a four-game series. This could change everything for the division, making it easily the biggest of the year.
