The Phillies’ record has slipped to 5th in the NL, though they are still tied for the second wildcard spot in a tight race:
Atlanta was swept over the weekend by Colorado (who moved within 1⁄2 game of first in the West), but the Phillies failed to take advantage vs. the Mets and are now one game back.
The Nationals are 7 1⁄2 games out, and are apparently starting a fire sale, having moved Daniel Murphy (Cubs) and Matt Adams (Cards) already today.
