Phillies Take Two of Three from Braves, Finally Catch Mets

It took the Phillies 159 games to do it, but with sparkling pitching performances by the Kyles, Kyle Lohse and Kyle Kendrick. a gritty offense and more clutch performances by the bullpen "A Team" tandem of J.C. Romero, Tom Gordon and Brett Myers which gave up 4 hits, 2 walks and only 1 run in 5 innings of work over the two games, the Phillies have finally caught the Mets with 5-2 and 6-4 victories over the Atlantic Braves before the charged-up, screaming, towel-waving Phillies fans at Citizen's Bank stadium.. The Phillies and Met stand all knotted up at 87-72 atop the NL East division as the season comes down to the three dramatic final games of the regular season.
