Phillies Win the East
The Phillies defeat the Nationals 6-1 to complete an improbable comeback. They play eight games better than the Mets down the stretch, nosing them out for the NL East championship by one game. Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard collected the big hits, Rollins racing for his twentieth triple to equal Granderson's 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home run season. He scored twice. Howard hit his 47th home run of the year. It's also his 11th of the month, his best month for home runs.
Congratulations to the Phillies on winning the NL East, even if it means no four-way tie!
Left out Granderson/Rollins 20/more stolen bases, only 3/4 to ever do four 20s.
No, I didn't. SB has nothing to do with power.
