Phillies beat Dodgers, finish 2. Direct NL East title

Los Angeles – The Philadelphia Phillies They existed for more than 140 years, during which they reached eight world series and presented some of the most developable rosters in baseball history.

At least one measure, however, have never been dominant as now.

Monday, after overcoming against defense counsel-champions Los Angeles Dodgers In tensions, back and forward competition, Phillies start earlier than they ever had – 15. Night of September, with almost two all weeks left of the remaining baseball season.

It was a product of adoration in New York Mets’, but also on the increase of Phillies. They won 11 out of 14 games this month and praised the best sports record since the beginning of August.

In other words, they can be superb in perfect time.

“We are a really good team,” Phillies First Baseman Brice Harper It was said after 10-Inning 10-Inning from Dodger Stadium. “I think we are currently playing really good baseball. I just have to continue and continue to understand that we have a bigger picture and we have things to want to win.”

The latest PHILLIES victory, the one that secured its third consecutive season with 90 plus win, it came in an appropriate way.

It began with Kile Schwarberwho cloned his 53. home, runs out of left-ruined reliever Anthony Bandawhich was used as an opener primarily to harmonize with one of the sports premier servants. Ranger Suarez Sometimes it continues, providing six innings of three movable balls to continue dominance of domination from three left-handed starters. The rest of the group followed by continuously by hitting back.

After MOOKIE BETTS He connected the result of Solo Homer in the seventh, Harper replied with his eighth eighth that Phillies would return to the top. After Andy Pages It was linked to the play once again with a house race in ninth, Phillies produced a run in 10., culminating in a heavy Žrbirička fly by JT Realmuto. And after Dodgeri loaded the bases with one in the lower half of the Inning, David Robertson somehow awakened from distress, acquiring Miguel Rojas to fly and Max Munci To grip the title 13. Division in the history of the franchise.

Phillies won back NL Eastern headlines and sit 5 1/2 play in front of Dodger for 2 places in NL and thus first rounding.

“There’s a lot of confidence in this room,” Realmuto said. “We all believe each other. We think we’re going in a good direction.”

Phillies compliment the main league-best record 29-14 from the beginning of August and shrugged any adverb that they have faced since. Zack Wheeler landed on the injured list with what has become a blood clot near the shoulders, and since then, Phillies three left – Suarez, Cristopher Sanchez and Jesus Luzardo – together with 2.55 era.

Trearer and Alec Bohm, making the left side of its healing, and last Monday, and Phillies regained to win six consecutive games, including the entire Mets game. Lawthin Malitant Jose Alvarado, but not printing the conditions after testing positive to the treatment of performance, suffered forearm last week, but Bullpen would find a way.

Kezgro Harper, Schvarber, Turner, Realmuto, Brison Stott and Brandon Marsh has produced, but is a more intolerable group consisting of Otto Kemp, Mak Kepler, Veston Wilson and Edmundo sauce They also contributed. Trio adds mean season – Robertson, Ofilder Harrison Badernearer Jhoan Duran – They’re further post-resented Roster.

“I think our depth is as good as it past,” Realmuto said. “And as hard to lose guy like Wheeler, we have so much to start depths, and in my opinion, they give us innings, as it has ever been in the files. It is really important in the eighth or ninth contract.”

Phillies made the playoffs every last three years, but they arrived in their pursuit to request the first name of the franchise since 2008. years. In 2022 years have been defeated Houston Astros In the world series. 2023. The years came into red hot Arizona Diamondbacks Team in series NL Championships. In 2024. years, Mets sent them in four divisions series.

In a way, this year feels more keys than all of them. Realmuto, Schvarber and Suarez are planned for a free agency in offsesona. The overall core is aging. Next month, external evaluators can represent the best chance that this group consolidates its size championship.

That journey began on Sunday afternoon, as he stuck on a plane facing mechanical issues while trying to leave Philadelphia. The players then learned that based on the loss of Giants from San Francisco to Dodgers, they slid into place in postseason. Schools refrain from glory, they landed in La at about 2 hours in the morning and hoped to reveal in greater due maturity.

About 20 hours later, it happened. The Phillies’ travel party slipped into the commemorative T-shirts and headed to a small guest club Dodger Stadium for the type of alcohol celebration and a cigar that has become too famous for so many. Rob Thomson, in his fourth year as a manager, gathered his players, held by a champagne bottle in his left hand and praised the way they have exaggerated to excess trouble. Then he turned to Realmuto and asked, “How many are we left, buddy?”

“Whatever it takes,” Realmuto shouted in response, hitting from the return.

Phillies hope it is much more.

“Every team we had in the last few years, we were really good,” Harper said. “It just didn’t happen. We just didn’t finish the victory and we had to do it.
