The Phillies, for the 16th consecutive season, will have a losing season when the team loses its 78th game of the year, dropping a 13-2 decision to the Braves at Shibe Park. The drought, which began in 1933, will be the longest in big league history until the Pirates suffer through twenty downtrodden years from 1993 to 2012.
