Phillies End Season with Win, Secure No. 2 Seed

The Philadelphia Phillies concluded their regular season with a 6-3 win over the Washington Nationals, finishing with a 95-67 record, their best since 2011. Key performances included Kyle Schwarber and Weston Wilson each driving in two runs, and a game-saving catch by Kody Clemens. Aaron Nola struck out seven in his final tune-up before the playoffs, where the Phillies will enter as the No. 2 seed in the National League. The Nationals ended their season with a 71-91 record, marking their fourth consecutive 90-loss season. The Phillies are preparing for the postseason with a focus on maintaining sharpness during their first-round bye, including playing intrasquad games. Manager Rob Thomson noted the team's depth and resilience as factors that could drive their playoff success.
