SUNTRUST THE PROCESS: The Phillies have held Atlanta to a total of three runs (only 1 ER) over their last three games, having posted a combined 0.33 ERA (1 ER, 27.0 IP) in that stretch It s the first time the Phillies have allowed 1 ER or none over a three-game span against one opponent since a four-game stretch against the Marlins 9/13/17-4/7/18 (4 G) The Phillies have faced tonight s starter Kevin Gausman earlier this year when he was a member of the Orioles They plated 5 runs in 5.0 innings and tallied 12 hits against the righthander in a 5-4 win. NOTHING BUT RHYS-PECT: Last night, Rhys Hoskins connected on his 50 th career home run in his 192 nd major league game In doing so, Hoskins became the seventh-fastest player in the history of Major League Baseball to reach his 50 th home run, trailing only Ryan Howard (182 G), Aaron Judge (174 G), Ryan Braun (171 G), Gary Sanchez (161 G), Mark McGwire (161 G) and Rudy York (153 G) Since he burst onto the scene August 10, 2017, Hoskins 50 home runs rank 4 th in MLB, trailing only NYY s Giancarlo Stanton (55 HR), OAK s Khris Davis (55 HR) and BOS J.D. Martinez for the major league lead in that stretch... Last night, Hoskins home run came off a 98 MPH Noah Syndergaard fastball and he later followed with a double to right off the righthander Hoskins is the first player this year with multiple extra-base hits off the Mets hurler and the first player to do so since ATL s Freddie Freeman, two years ago to the day on September 19, 2016 Lastly, Hoskins currently boasts a 131 wrc+ which would be the highest by a Phillies player since Shane Victorino (132) in 2011. YOUTH GROUP: The Phillies began the season with the youngest roster in MLB With just under two weeks remaining in the season, the Phillies have collected 920.1 innings from pitchers aged 26 or younger, the second-highest total of any team in the majors (most: PIT, 1046.2 IP) Of note, per FanGraphs, Philadelphia has totaled 16.2 WAR from hurlers 26 or younger this season which leads the majors (next: PIT & TB, 11.4) Further, every Phillies pitcher, not named Jake Arrieta, who has made a start this season has been 26 or younger Philadelphia s 122 games started by pitchers 26 or younger lead the majors (next: STL, 116 GS) Offensively, Philly s 3,692 plate appearances by players 26 or younger rank 2 nd in the majors to only the Cubs (3,772) and their 123 home runs are most (next: TEX, 119 HR). CHIP AND A CHAIR: With 11 games left in the 2018 season, the Phillies enter play tonight 5.5 games back of the Atlanta Braves for first place in the National League East and 5.0 games back of the second wild card, trailing St. Louis Of Philadelphia s 11 remaining games, eight will be on the road (4 G at ATL & 4 G at COL) and three at CBP (3 G vs ATL) Beginning tonight, seven of their final 11 games this season will come against the Braves. HATS OFF FOR HECTOR: Right-hander Hector Neris is averaging 14.32 SO/9.0 IP this season which ranks 2 nd in the National League, trailing only MIL s Josh Hader (15.82) Neris has at least one strikeout in 20 consecutive appearances which is the longest streak by a Phillies reliever since at least 1908 (previous: Ryan Madson, 19 in 2010) Since being recalled from Lehigh Valley (AAA) on 8/14, Neris has struck out 29 of the 56 batters he has faced (51.8%). MR. NO DAYS OFF: Starting with tonight s game in Atlanta, the Phillies will play consecutive fourgame series away from home for the first time since July 2010 (at CHI & at STL) The Phils are in the midst of 17 consecutive games without an off day to finish their season This marks the longest stretch this year for the club without an off day Per Elias, this is the first time the Phillies have finished a season with at least 17 straight games and no days off since the year 2000 when they also finished with 17 straight from September 15-October 1. CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH: Prior to Tuesday night s game, the Phillies reinstated LHP Aaron Loup off the 10-day DL The Phillies are currently the only team in Major League Baseball without a player on the DL As it stands now, this would be the first time since at least 1994, or as far as Phillies internal records go back, that Philadelphia finished a season without a single player on the disabled list. PROGRESS IN THE PROCESS: Thus far, through 151 games, the Phils are five games above.500 at 78-73 and in regards to the.500 mark, have improved by 36 games from this point last year when they were 31 games under.500 at 60-91 As for run differential, the Phillies have improved by 96 runs from this time last year when they carried a -103 mark through 151 games The Phils, who matched last year s win total of 66 on August 15, didn t notch their 66 th win last year until the final day of the season, October 1 against the Mets, a difference of 47 days on the calendar.
