Game 147 - Friday Night, September 17th in Flushing
Record - 75-72, 2nd Place, 2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies hung on to win in New York, inching closer to the Braves in the N.L. East standings.
What It Means: With the Braves losing a late night game in San Francisco, the Phillies are now only two games behind them for the top spot in the division.
What Happened: Zack Wheeler didn't have his best stuff, but he battled through five innings, allowing a run on four hits while striking out six. After Archie Bradley allowed two Mets runs in the eighth, Ian Kennedy was asked to convert a four-out save. He got out of the eighth and pitched a perfect ninth to send the Phillies to victory.
The Phillies held a 3-1 lead through seven innings courtesy of sacrifice flies from Freddy Galvis and Matt Vierling and a solo home run from Brad Miller. Didi Gregorius delivered a huge RBI double in the eighth to give the team a much-needed insurance run.
Featured Card: Gregorius has had an awful season, both with the bat and the glove, so it was great to see him contribute to this win.
Transaction: Damon Jones (lhp) was recalled from Lehigh Valley and JD Hammer (rhp) was optioned down.
