The Phillies haven’t done this since their last division title season

As the Phillies try to return to the postseason for the first time since their 2011 division title, it’s encouraging to see them doing things that helped them get there back in the day.

While they’ll need to beat teams far tougher than the Nationals if they want to reach October for the first time in a decade, every win counts, especially in September. The Phillies remaining opponents include the Milwaukee Brewers and Atlanta Braves, two scrappy first-place teams.

But as this stat and the first stat we discussed indicate, this team has more than earned their Fightins nickname.
