Phillies Clinch Playoff Spot, Wait To Win NL East
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – The going-nowhere New York Mets made sure the Philadelphia Phillies took their champagne on the road.
The Phillies, however, are at least assured of going to the playoffs.
Carlos Beltran hit a pair of homers, David Wright also connected and the Mets beat Philadelphia 7-3 on Sunday, preventing the Phillies from clinching their fourth straight NL East title at home.
“The champagne was on ice and the fans here are very passionate. I’m glad we were able to get it done,” Mets manager Jerry Manuel said.
The two-time defending NL champions came in needing a win and a loss by Atlanta to secure the division crown. The Braves lost 4-2 to Washington, dropping Philadelphia’s magic number to one.
