1995 Philadelphia Phillies season

The 1995 Philadelphia Phillies season was the 113th season in the history of the franchise.

Regular season

The Phillies were in first place for the majority of the first half, thanks to a 37–18 start to the season. However, injuries took their toll, and they went on a 3–16 skid in early July. An eight-game losing streak in August knocked them out of contention.
