The Phillies finished in second place in the National League East with a record of 88–74, two games behind the Atlanta Braves, and one game behind the NL Champion Houston Astros, who won the NL Wild Card race for the second consecutive season.
With Billy Wagner on the mound, the Phillies gave up a fielding error and an infield single with two outs before Craig Biggio went up to the plate.
Biggio subsequently lined a deep shot into left field that gave them an 8-6 lead that the Phillies did not recover from.
