Page "Philadelphia Phillies" Paragraph 23

On September 17, 2011, the Phillies won their fifth consecutive East Division championship, and on September 28, during the final game of the season, the team set a franchise record for victories in a season with 102 by beating the Atlanta Braves in 13 innings, denying their division rivals a potential Wild Card berth.

Yet the Phillies lost in the NLDS to the St. Louis Cardinals – the team that won the National League Wild Card as a result of the Phillies beating the Braves.

The Cardinals subsequently beat the Brewers in the NLCS and won the 2011 World Series in 7 games.
