Phillies in Phirst
Brad Lidge picks up this 39th save without a failure and the Phillies defeat the Marlins 3-2. That moves them ahead of the Mets into first place in the NL East. New York, however, still holds a 2 1/2 game lead over the Brewers for the wild card. The Marlins win streak ends at nine, although it appears a bad call cost them a tie.
