Red October, here we come. The Phillies dismantled the Mets on Friday, 12-2, punching their ticket to the postseason for the third consecutive season.
After falling short consecutive nights to pull out a win, the Phillies finally jumped over the hurdle, crossing off the first of three important goals on the club’s end-of-season checklist — clinching a playoff spot. The Phillies punched their ticket to the playoffs for a third consecutive season with an explosive 12-2 win over the Mets. It’s just the third time the Phillies have secured postseason appearances in three straight seasons .
Only one run crossed the plate on an Edmundo Sosa sacrifice fly. If they didn’t win the game, that would come back to haunt them. Seriously, he tried swerving the tag by leaping out of his slide to hop over Peterson and touch the plate. It was an impressive effort but Bohm was ultimately tagged out. If they didn’t win the game, *that* would come back to haunt them.
