Phillies 7-6, Brewers 3-1

Philadelphia – Brett Myers received a standing ovation from the near-capacity crowd when he came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. The cheer grew even more deafening an inning later, when Myers got J.J. Hardy to fly to left for the final out.

Another September run has the Phillies in great position to make the playoffs.

Myers pitched a two-hitter, and the Phillies moved into a tie for the NL wild-card lead with the Brewers by sweeping them in a day-night doubleheader.

And with the Mets losing to Atlanta, Philadelphia moved within a game of the Mets in the NL East.
