2007 Philadelphia Phillies season

The 2007 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 125th season in the history of the franchise. It would begin with the Phillies approaching a historic mark. The Phillies started the year with an MLB-record 9,955 losses in franchise history. On July 15, they lost their 10,000th game to the St. Louis Cardinals, becoming the first professional sports team in modern history to reach that milestone. The Phillies rallied in the closing days of the season, winning their final game against the Washington Nationals. This win and the New York Mets' loss to the Florida Marlins gave the Phillies the National League East title, resulting in the Phillies clinching a postseason berth for the first time since 1993. They were swept in the NLDS by the Colorado Rockies.

Regular season Trailing the Mets by seven games with seventeen left to play, the Phillies went on a 13–4 stretch that got them the first of five consecutive division championships. It was also the franchise's first playoff appearance since 1993.
