A look at a few key Phillies individual stats as regular season concludes

Final Score: Phillies 6, Nationals 3

To make you feel a little bit better heading into the postseason, the Phillies won a game.

Aaron Nola fell just short of 200 innings on the season, the Phillies scored four runs in the fifth and nobody got hurt in a 6-3 win over the Washington Nationals. Jose Ruiz loaded the bases in the ninth, but Kody Clemens made a game-saving catch at the wall in left field.

They will finish the season with a 95-67 record. The next Phillies regular season game will also be in D.C. against the Nats on March 27, 2025.

They hope to be celebrating a World Series championship. Red October officially begins on Oct. 5 at Citizens Bank Park, when the Phillies host Game 1 of the National League Division Series. The time and opponent is still TBA.

Before that, let’s take a look at some important individual stats as the regular season concludes.

• Nick Castellanos — 162 games started: As our own Tim Kelly noted, Castellanos is the first Phillies player since Jimmy Rollins in 2007 to start all 162 games in the regular season.
• Kyle Schwarber — .248 batting average: He didn’t eclipse .250, but Schwarber improved his batting average by 51 points from 2023. Schwarber also finished the 2024 season with 104 RBIs, the same total from last season.
• Jeff Hoffman — 2.17 ERA: Hoffman was an out away from finishing his walk year with a sub-2.00 ERA. He then allowed a pair of two-run home runs to raise his ERA from 1.65 to 2.17. Hoffman will likely enter the offseason as the top free agent relief pitcher available.
• Matt Strahm — 1.87 ERA: Strahm finished the year with the lowest ERA among qualified Phillies relievers. He’s one of only five Phillies relievers since 1981 to finish the year with an ERA below two (min. 60 innings pitched). The other four are Ken Giles (2015), Brad Lidge (2008), Billy Wagner (2005) and Rhéal Cormier (2003).

Notes

• Prior to the game, the Phillies recalled infielder Buddy Kennedy from the spring training complex and optioned left-handed pitcher Tyler Gilbert. Kennedy was recalled to help the Phillies get through Game 162, Rob Thomson told reporters, including Matt Gelb of The Athletic, pregame.
