PHILADELPHIA -- Even after the Mets throttled the Phillies on Friday night at Citizens Bank Park, 11-3, the Phils still carried a commanding seven-game lead in the NL East with 15 games to play. It would take a miracle for the Mets to pull a 2007 Phillies.

PHILADELPHIA -- Nick Castellanos loved the sweep, of course. But he loved how the Phillies swept the Rays this week at Citizens Bank Park, including Wednesday’s 3-2 victory.

Here at the Starting Pitcher Power Rankings, our season began with a Braves pitcher on top. Five-plus months and 12 polls later, with the regular season winding down, a Braves pitcher is back at No. 1. While would-be Atlanta ace Spencer Strider made only two starts before undergoing elbow surgery,

PHILADELPHIA -- Nick Castellanos sensed trouble. He has played enough baseball to know when a pitcher might throw at a batter intentionally. He figured he might be next. He had just watched Rays right-hander Edwin Uceta implode in the Phillies’ 9-4 victory on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park. Uceta

PHILADELPHIA -- Kyle Schwarber is an imposing force atop the Phillies’ lineup. They don’t want to lose him to injury, even for a day.

Tonight, the Phillies reached 3 million in total attendance at Citizens Bank Park for the second consecutive season.

PHILADELPHIA -- Buddy Kennedy grew up in Millville, N.J., which means he grew up cheering for his favorite Phillies players in 2008. Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jayson Werth, Pat Burrell, Jimmy Rollins, Brad Lidge. Kennedy finally felt what they all felt in Monday night’s 2-1 walk-off victory over the Rays

MIAMI -- When Seth Johnson exited his Major League debut on Sunday afternoon, he and manager Rob Thomson had a long chat in the dugout. Johnson had been hit hard by the Marlins in the Phils’ 10-1 series-finale loss at loanDepot park, allowing nine runs on eight hits and three

Can you believe there are only three weeks left in the regular season? That means there are only three more Power Rankings with all 30 teams before we get whittled down to 12. There are only three teams who have been officially eliminated from playoff consideration so far: The Marlins,

MIAMI -- Aaron Nola entered his 29th start of the season on a hot streak. Over his previous four games -- all of which the Phillies had won -- Nola had posted a 1.44 ERA with 24 strikeouts and just six walks. But Nola cooled off against the Marlins, getting

MIAMI -- The Phillies were hit with a bit of an obstacle pregame on Friday. The Marlins’ starter, Edward Cabrera, was scratched an hour before first pitch with migraine-like symptoms. Having less than an hour to prepare for any combination of bullpen arms Miami was going to throw didn’t faze

There have been other great leadoff hitters, of course. There was the great Rickey Henderson, who never hit 30 home runs in a season, but did just about everything else on his way to Cooperstown. We have seen big leadoff years from Jose Altuve in 2021 and Mookie Betts in
