The Phillies have lost nine of their last 11 games at San Francisco and 55 of their last 76 road contests. Also, Philly has lost Ben Lively's last six starts, including four on the road. Lively is 1-4 and gave up four runs on five hits in five innings in a 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh back on July 5 when he last pitched.
