The Philadelphia Phillies (94-67) will take the field for the last time in the regular season when they take on the Washington Nationals (71-90) on Sunday at Nationals Park.
After two forgettable losses to a non-playoff team (despite Zack Wheeler's final Cy Young push on Saturday), fans are hoping that the Phillies can close out the season on a positive note. With five days off until the NLDS starts on Oct. 5, they are locked into the No. 2 seed in the National League for the MLB playoffs but don't yet know who will be their opponent.
