Bryce Harper and Edmundo Sosa each hit a home run, while Zack Wheeler delivered a stellar performance reminiscent of a Game 7 ace. The Phillies have clinched their fifth consecutive playoff appearance, tying a record set from 2007-11. The Rays, who earned a postseason bye, will face the winner of the Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees series in the Wild Card round.",
