Phillies Win the East

Brad Lidge teetered on the ledge, but induced Ryan Zimmerman to hit into a double play as the Phillies win the NL East. Brad allowed three hits and a walk, but nothing long as the Nationals could only turn those into one run. That was enough to earn the Phillies a 4-3 victory and an NL East championship for the second year in a row.

Congratulations to the Phillies. They blew a large lead over the Mets early in the season, but held on at the end to take first place. They will either play the Brewers or the Dodgers in the NLDS. They went 5-1 against Milwaukee, posting an ERA below three, but 4-4 against the Dodgers, sweeping them the last time the teams met in Philadelphia.
