The high point of the season for the Phillies was the three-game sweep of the Mets in mid-September. On September 12, up by twenty-two games, the Mets needed to win one game to clinch the division and came to Philadelphia for a weekend series. The Phillies won all three games, finishing the weekend by beating the Mets 6–0 behind a six-hit shutout by Kevin Gross, who also tripled home two runs. The sweep still left the Phillies down nineteen games but was both especially satisfying given the significant number of Mets fans who had traveled to Veterans Stadium for the weekend hoping to see the Mets clinch,Flyers, Rangers have contentious history Brehm Mike USA Today December 30, 2011 E4 In 1986, the New York Mets were running away with the National League East race and needed one win in Philadelphia in mid-September to clinch. Mets fans seemed to take up half of Veterans Stadium, but Philadelphia swept the three games. Though the Mets won the division by 21 games, that was Phillies fans' World Series. and necessary because they were swept in a three-game series in Chicago preceding this series and did not want to see a visiting team's division-title celebration at Veterans Stadium.The Phils now must shut the Mets down in three straight games to avoid watching a division-title celebration on their own turf. Cubs Hand Phils 3rd Loss in a Row September 11, 1986 Peter Pascarelli The Philadelphia Inquirer D1 Had the Mets won one of the three games, it would have been the first time that a division title was won at Veterans Stadium.The Mets' magic number is down to 2...It would be the first division championship ever clinched at the Vet, and the Phillies would love to prevent it from happening. However, after losing three straight in Chicago...the Phils have to sweep the series...to prevent the Mets from clinching in Philadelphia...'To keep them from clinching at the Vet, we needed to do something in Chicago, and we didn't,' said reliever Kent Tekulve, who lost the third game at Wrigley Field.
