[EastFallowfield]

Had 'em all the way, Harry!

Phils for the first time in a decade win consecutive series against teams 10 or more games over .500 when series started.

Nola takes sole possession of 7th on the all time Phils wins list, Schilling now 8th.

[LoneStarPhan]

A solid win. Clinches series win.

Strong pitching and a big hit.

[phillychuck]

Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Zach Dezenzo replaces Ben Gamel.
Called strike (87.5 mph slider)
In play, out(s) (93.6 mph four-seam fastball)

Zach Dezenzo grounds out to first baseman Bryce Harper.

Quite a nice defensive play. Harper is close to gold glove level at first I think (eyeball test, of course).

[Patchmk88]

Big series win.

[VoteForKalas]

Outstanding pitching by Nola and Casty with another big hit. A great night.

[DurhamBull]

Even if Verlander is 41, it's still a feat to chalk up a win against him. The guy is amazing.

[gmwannabe]

hoping Wheels ages that well.

[zambonir]

we'll never know!

[Philsmania]

hoping Wheels ages that well.

Hasn't he committed to retiring after the extension he signed runs its course?

[zambonir]

I mean, him saying that now means nothing. But he'd probably still be two contracts away from pitching at 41, and much more likely to change teams if so.
