News summary

The Philadelphia Phillies have clinched their third consecutive playoff berth following a decisive 12-2 victory over the New York Mets on Friday and now lead the NL East by seven games with eight remaining, putting them in prime position to win their first division title since 2011. The Phillies secured the postseason spot alongside the Brewers, Yankees, Guardians, and Dodgers. Despite early struggles in Friday's game, a six-run fourth inning led by Alec Bohm's home run helped Philadelphia dominate. Philadelphia's starting rotation and bullpen have been standout strengths, and the team aims to secure home-field advantage and a first-round bye. The Mets remain in contention for the wild card but face a tough battle against the Braves, Padres, and Diamondbacks.
