Game 141 - Friday Afternoon, September 11th in Philadelphia
Record - 54-87
One Sentence Summary: The last place Phillies ran into the Jake Arrieta buzzsaw as the Cubs downed the Phillies, 5-1.
What It Means: Due to the rain-out on Thursday night, the Phillies played their first home single-admission double header since September 3, 2006. Shane Victorino had a walk-off single in the first game against the Braves that day.
What Happened: Arrieta won his 19th game and lowered his ERA to 1.99. His sole blemish was a solo home run allowed to Aaron Altherr (his third) in the second inning.
Featured Card: The struggling Ryan Howard, not quite a Diamond King this year, broke out of an 0 for 35 slump in the second game of this double header. It was the longest hitless streak for a Phillies player since Raul Ibanez also went 0 for 35 in 2011.
