>> alexis the good luck charm. if i would have told you the phillies would head into may as the hottest team in baseball, would you believe me? stop it, no you wouldn't have. i am not sure how i feel about these dancing blues people. anyway, phills looking to sweep the indians. bottom of the third, galvin continues the hot streak and the single puts the phillies on the board. and velasquez six shut-out innings and help from the defense. in the fourth, check out ruff laying out. and one more time. and it looked like he had his eyes closed. and velasquez all smiles after that e.r.a. 1.44. and the phillies with the first back-to-back sweep since 2012 winning 2-1. they won six in a row and nine of the last 10. >> we know we're kind of -- we need a little more offense. but, you know, pitching and

know. and you can't do much about that. but, you know, the minute he comes back, we catch him up and keep going forward. >> of course bradford not the only one skipping the workouts. fletcher cox is yet to attend one as he waits out negotiations between his agent and the eagles in a long-term contract. asked what will it take to get fletcher back to the voluntary workouts? >> i can't speak for that, but certainly whenever he comes back we're excited to see him. and again, he will be an eagle for a long time.
