I haven't researched this, but I can't remember the last time the Phillies started a series on a Saturday after a Friday off day.  It has to be at least 15 years or more.

Red Sox 77-70, 3rd place in the A.L. East, 19 games behind the Yankees
Phillies 76-70, 3rd place in the N.L. East, 14 1/2 games behind the Braves
