This doesn't seem possible, but the Phillies have been 6 games over .500 11 different times since mid-June, but failed every single time to go 7 games over.

39-33
54-48
56-50
57-51
58-52
59-53
64-58
66-60
67-61
68-62
69-63

They'll try again tonight at 71-65.

Johnny Almaraz has stepped down as Phillies scouting director, the club said. He was not fired and he will remain in the organization as a special assistant. Almaraz wanted a role that would permit him to spend more time with his family. The Phillies will go through an interview process to replace Almaraz. Greg Schilz, who is the Phillies' assistant director of scouting, will be a candidate.
