The Philadelphia Phillies celebrated their first National League East title since 2011, marking a significant achievement for the franchise.

Despite expectations for a relaxed lineup, the team fielded most of their regulars, with only J.T. Realmuto resting. Superstar Bryce Harper made an impact early on, hitting his 30th home run of the season in the first inning to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead.

As the season winds down, the Phillies aim to secure a top two seed in the National League playoffs, with five games remaining to strengthen their positioning.
