[edit] Regular season

Under second-year manager John Felske, the Phillies stayed just below the .500 mark for roughly 2/3s of the season, until a charge after the All-Star break pushed the club past the St. Louis Cardinals and Montreal Expos into second place in the NL East. Unfortunately, the Mets finished with a major-league best 108-54 record, and finished 21 1/2 games ahead of the Phils.

The Phillies were the only team in the National League to post a winning record against the World Series champs, going 10-8 with a 7-2 mark at Veterans Stadium.

Hall-of-Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt won the NL MVP for the third and final time in his career with a league-high 37 home runs with 119 RBI and a .290 average.

The club scored a season-high 19 runs in a 19-1 throttling of the Chicago Cubs at the Vet on June 23.
