Phillies 3
Rays 2
Game 146 - Wednesday Night, September 11th in Philadelphia
Record - 88-58, 1st Place, 8 games ahead of the Mets

One Sentence Summary:  Zack Wheeler won his 15th game and Weston Wilson delivered a tie-breaking RBI single in the sixth as the Phillies beat the Rays, 3-2, completing the three-game series sweep.

What It Means:  The Mets come to town next for a big three-game series beginning on Friday night.

What Happened:  Wheeler went six strong innings, allowing a pair of runs on four hits, while striking out nine.  Matt Strahm, a revitalized Jose Alvarado and Carlos Estevez took it from there, with Estevez recording his fifth save with the Phillies.  Nick Castellanos got some revenge, after being hit in Tuesday night's game, with a two-run home in the first.  With the score tied 2-2, Wilson singled home Castellanos with the go-ahed and eventual winning run.

Featured Card:  Here's Wilson's rookie card from Topps Series Two.

Transaction:  Nick Nelson (rhp) cleared waivers and was outrighted to the IronPigs.
