Phillies becomes the first National League team to repeat since the Braves won consecutive flags in 1995-96

On October 21, 2009 — The Phillies are returning to the World Series after beating the Dodgers, 10 – 4, in Game 5 of the NLCS at Citizens Bank Park. Seven home runs are hit in the game – 4 by the Phils – including 2 by Jayson Werth. Ryan Howard‘s streak of postseason games with an RBI ends at 8, but he is still selected the Series’ MVP. The Phillies becomes the first National League team to repeat the feat since the Braves won consecutive flags in 1995-96.

During the game when he is issued a first-inning walk by L.A.’s starter Vicente Padilla, Chase Utley ties a postseason record by reaching base in 25 consecutive contests. The slugging second baseman, who has reached base in every postseason game in which he has participated except for his first in 2007, equals Boog Powell’s mark established from 1966-1971 playing for the Orioles.
