NOTES
* Philly splits with Atlanta (2-2) but beats Florida 2-1 in a three-game set. Because Atlanta got swept by the Mets in four games, Philadelphia has pulled to within two games! Wow…
*
Andrew Zarzour comes back from injury and gets a win (his 15th of the season) against Florida… A nice outing for him -- eight innings, six hits, one earned run … welcome back, Big Z! Get some ice on that back, will ya?
* Los Angeles has slammed the door on the NL West. The Dodgers have won seven in a row and are 14-2 in September. Beware the defending World Series champs. The Giants, meanwhile, have tanked. They are 4-13 in September…
* This week -- three games in Atlanta and three at Cincinnati. Another big stretch for the Phillies…
