Game 158 - Saturday Night, October 1st in Washington
Record - 85-73, 3rd Place, 14 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Kyle Schwarber launched two of the Phillies' five home runs, and Noah Syndergaard delivered a clutch pitching performance in this 8-2 win over the Nationals.
What It Means: After a dreadful afternoon, the Phillies needed to bounce back quickly and they did. The Marlins helped too, as their late rally over the Brewers gave Milwaukee a loss and dropped the Phillies magic number to clinch a Wild Card spot down to 3.
What Happened: Schwarber homered on the second pitch of the ballgame, his 43rd of the season. Matt Vierling kept the momentum going with an RBI triple in the second. In the third inning, Alec Bohm, Brandon Marsh and Vierling all homered to give the Phillies a comfortable 7-0 lead. Schwarber then added his 44th home run in the fourth.

Syndergaard, who had been pitching out of the bullpen, won his fifth game with the Phillies, pitching into the sixth inning and allowing just a pair of hits. Cristopher Sanchez got the three inning save, also saving a roughed up bullpen in the process.
Featured Card: Schwarber's 44 home runs are the most by a Phillies outfielder in franchise history, passing the mark of 43 set by Chuck Klein in 1929. Schwarber is tied with Ryan Howard for most strikeouts in a season with 199. The record will be his alone with his next K.
