Nationals Notebook: The 'Finally Eliminated' edition

The Phillies have consecutive series against last place teams so there’s a very good chance they’ll be playing for the NL East lead next week, and if they’re not they only have themselves to blame. The New York Mets (73-77) remain on the fringe of contention while Miami (63-86) was eliminated Sunday to join the Nationals (61-88) on the other side of life. O’s Woes: the Birds (47-102) in getting swept by Boston reach the century mark for losses for the third time in four years.
