We interrupt Carson Wentz mania and the circus-like atmosphere of the NFL Draft to bring Philly sports fans this public service announcement.
Check your calendars.
Then check the Phillies' record.
The Phils are over .500 on April 28. Raise your hand if you did not think that was going to happen. Thought so.
The Phils got another impressive starting pitching performance from Jeremy Hellickson, who allowed just two hits over seven innings. A Carlos Ruiz home run provided the offense and the Phils' bullpen slammed the door, with Jeanmar pitching a perfect ninth inning for his sixth save.
The last time the Phillies were over .500 was April 11 of last year. They were 2-2 when they beat the Nats. That streak lasted all of one game. They did not get back to the .500 mark all season.
To find the last time the Phils were over .500 this late in the season, you have to go back to May 4, 2014.
The Phils now sit at 11-10.
A win tonight would give the Phils a sweep over the first-place Nats and leave the Phils just 3.5 games out of first place in NL East.
Go ahead, pinch me.
OK, now we can go back to NFL Draft mania.
How 'bout that Sam Bradford!!!!
