Final Score: Phillies 5, Brewers 1
With the way some of their starting pitchers have performed recently, there’s been some talk about how the Phillies will organize their rotation come October. They haven’t officially clinched anything yet, but it’s getting closer to happening. Their win on Tuesday, coupled with a Braves loss, lowered their magic number to clinch a postseason berth to one. The club’s magic number to win the NL East is down to four. Tuesday’s victory also gave them the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Brewers, inching them closer to securing a first-round bye.
Getting back to the playoff rotation, some people have wondered who would start a potential Game 2 of a postseason series for the Phillies.
