Season summary March Just five months removed from a heartbreaking National League Championship Series defeat to the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Phillies entered the 2024 season with high expectations and were looking to make some noise in the 2024 season. The Phillies kicked off their 2024 campaign against the Atlanta Braves, the same team they defeated in the National League Division Series two years in a row. The Phillies struggled in the first series of the year, losing two games out of three while being outscored, 12–25.
April The Phillies' struggles continued into early April. The team continuously battled back and forth and was struggling to stay around the .500 mark. Going into the middle of April, the team found themselves at an 8–8 record and the offense continued to struggle while the pitching staff started to find its rhythm. The Phillies would end up going on a seven-game win streak led by an offense that looked like it had finally found its spark. The Phillies finished the month off with a 20–11 record and became the first team in MLB to reach 20 wins on the year. By the end of April, the Phillies had the second best record in the National League, behind the Braves, and the fourth best record in all of baseball behind the Braves, Orioles, and Guardians respectfully. The Phillies also were 1st in home runs in the National League and 2nd in total home runs in MLB, behind the Orioles to end the month. Philles starting pitcher Ranger Suárez was named the NL Pitcher of the Month for the month of April.
May The Phillies began May with a seven-game winning-streak, including a four-game series sweep of the San Francisco Giants. The streak ended with a series splitting loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on May 7, before taking two of three games against the Miami Marlins. The Phillies went on to take three of four in a home-and-home series against the New York Mets, before winning another six straight games, including sweeps of the Washington Nationals and defending World Series Champion Texas Rangers. On May 22, J. T. Realmuto hit the 14,000th home run in franchise history in an 11–4 victory over the Rangers. As of May 24, the Phillies were 28–6 over their preceding 34 games, tying a franchise mark last set in 1892. Further, the Phillies 36–14 start put them 22 games above-.500, a feat last set by the team at the end of the 2011 season. On Friday, May 31, The Phillies defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in a 4–2 victory to become the first team to 40 wins.
June After going 40–18 (.690) the first two months of the season, the Phillies cooled off slightly in June, going 15–11 (.577), scoring 117 runs while allowing 91, and not winning more than three games in a row. The team is comfortably in first with a 55–29 (.655) record and an eight-game lead.
July The Phillies slumped badly in July, going only 10–17 (.417) for the month. They scored 107 runs and allowed 126. At the All-Star break, they stand at 62–34 (.646), games up. They lose five out of the last six games to end the month. The Phillies end July at 65–42 (.607) and are still up games to close out the month.
August The Phillies improved over the previous month, playing just over .500 baseball (15–13, .536). They scored 129 runs while allowing 122. The team mustered a four-game winning streak from August 24–27. The Phillies end August 80–56 (.588) and a six-game lead in the NL East.
September The Phillies record a 15–11 (.577) record in the final month of the 2024 season. They scored 128 runs and allowed 124. They began the month with five straight wins. On September 20, the Phillies clinched a playoff berth with a 12–2 rout of the New York Mets, and clinched first place for the division three days later at home with a 6–2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The Phillies had a chance at 100 wins but went 5–7 in their last 12 games to finish at 95–67 (.586), six games ahead. After the All-Star break, the Phillies played just .500 ball (33–33) for the remainder of the season. Philadelphia finished with the second best record in the NL behind the Los Angeles Dodgers and second best in MLB overall.
