Teams

Philadelphia opened the season by posting a winning record in the opening month of April. The team scored 60 runs over a five game span in late May and went 14–4 into the beginning of June. The team lost 9 of 11 games to end June, but came out of the All-Star break with a 9–6 record following the midseason hiatus.[1] The Phillies posted the best road record in the National League, at 44–37.[2] Philadelphia traded sweeps with the Los Angeles Dodgers in August and went 13–3 in their last 16 games,[1] to win National League East title for the second consecutive season.[3] They defeated the Milwaukee Brewers in the Division Series 3–1,[4] and the Dodgers in the Championship Series, 4–1 to book their place in the 2008 Fall Classic.[5][6] This is the Phillies' first World Series appearance in fifteen years.[7][8]
