When the Philadelphia Phillies beat the San Diego Padres 10-5 on Tuesday night, a couple important things happened.
The Phils went 10 games over .500 at 30-20 and 2 1/2 game lead over the New York Mets in the National League East. Certainly the race in the NL East is not over by a long shot. But temporarily, it gave the Phillies some breathing room from the week-to-week flip flop with the Mets.
