Red October Ready: Phillies 6, Nats 3

The 2024 regular season is complete! The Phillies sit second in the National League with a record of 95-67 and are heading into their third straight Red October.

Facing the prospect of heading into the postseason after losing to the Nationals, the Phillies rallied behind Aaron Nola in Washington and picked up their final win of the regular season.

How the Phillies scored

After loading the bases, Stott and Bohm singled in the first, giving the Phillies a 2-0 lead. They added four more runs in the fifth with a Schwarber single and a Wilson double.

How the Nationals scored

Garcia Jr. hit a solo home run in the first inning and an RBI single in the fifth. Yepez added an RBI single of his own in the fifth as well.

Congratulations on 162, Casty!

With his start in this game, Nick Castellanos officially started all 162 regular season games in 2024. He only pitched the first inning, coming in for Weston Wilson, but he joins a very short list of Phillies players who have achieved this feat. The last time a Phil started all 162 games was Jimmy Rollins in 2007. Before him was Pete Rose in 1982.

Next

The Phillies are taking a short break for the Wild Card Series and will start again next Saturday in the NLDS. They face the winner of the Milwaukee series.
