The Philadelphia Phillies clinched a first-round bye with an 11-1 bashing of the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. The convincing win secured the No. 2 seed and home field advantage in the NLDS, while the Milwaukee Brewers still hold onto the top seed in the National League. Even with the No. 1 seed still technically in play, the focus for the Phillies should shift to their health in preparing for the postseason.
With the win, the Phillies are at 93-65 on the season. They sit 2.5 games behind the Brewers, with one additional game needed due to the Brewers winning the season series for the tiebreaker.
