The Philadelphia Phillies are playoff bound.
Bryce Harper later scored Kyle Schwarber on a sacrifice fly that gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead. But the Pirates rallied to tie the game at 2-2 and send the game to extra innings before Rojas secured victory in the 10th.. But the Phillies hae a chance to clinch the No. 4 seed and the top wild-card spot thanks to their 88-69 record. The postseason berth is a second straight for the Phillies after they made a surprise run to the World Series last year as a wild-card team.
That playoff berth was the franchise's first since 2011, which capped a run of five straight trips to the postseason that included a World Series victory in 2008.
