The Phillies threw a 17-spot on the Cubs in Thursday’s win to move to three games behind the Braves in the NL East at 74-72. Atlanta was supposed to host the Colorado Rockies Thursday afternoon but the game was rained out.
The Braves and Rockies do not share a common off the day the rest of the season, which makes things interesting. It means the game may likely would not be played unless it matters in determining the NL East playoff race. If it is played, it would likely be Monday, October 4, the day after the regular season ends.
