Rays 5, Phillies 0: Victorious in the regular season finale

With 59 games in the books, this shortened regular season had just one game left. Josh Fleming was tasked with ending the season on a high-note for the AL East Champions while Aaron Nola took the mound for the Phillies, whose Postseason chances hang in the balance of three must-happen scenarios: Phillies win, Brewers and Giants loss.

Fleming looked really good to start the game, striking out Andrew McCutchen looking for the first out in the first and JT Realmuto swinging for the third out in the first.

Nate Lowe got the second inning started with a leadoff single but was thrown out at second when Joey Wendle grounded into a fielder’s choice.
