Oh snap. Four games back. The chase is on. The Fightin' Phils will go for win number seven-in-a-row this afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. (Photo courtesy the Phillies)

Last night, the Phillies won their sixth game in a row, beating the Marlins 9-7 in South Philadelphia. With the win, the Phillies improved their record to .500, a mark that the team had not reached since June 4.

The Phillies are 14-4 in their last 18 games — the best record in the majors during that span.

But most importantly, the Phillies are suddenly within striking distance of the two Wild Card playoff spots in the National League — the Phillies are now just four games back of the Cardinals for the second Wild Card spot.

With 20 games left to play, that means the Phillies still have a shot.

So let’s help them out.

Today, at 4:05 the Phillies will close out their current six-game homestand at Citizens Bank Park — and go for their seventh win in a row overall — with a late afternoon game against the Marlins. Bonus: Tickets are available on StubHub for as little as $1…

Sounds like the perfect excuse to duck out of work a little early and head down to the ballpark to cheer on the Phils. (Also, have looked out the window today? It’s gorgeous outside. How much encouragement do you really need?)
