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. The Phillies were managed by their new manager Charlie Manuel, as they played their home games at Citizens Bank Park. First baseman Ryan Howard was named the National League Rookie of the Year for the 2005 season.

Regular season On September 14, 2005, Andruw Jones of the Atlanta Braves hit his 300th career home run which went 430 feet off Phils reliever Geoff Geary in a 12–4 Phillies win. The ball landed in the upper deck in left field. The Phillies again contended for the wild card down to the last day of the season. But an 0–6 record against the eventual wild card-winning Houston Astros doomed the team. One loss included a game on September 7, in which the Phillies led 6–5 in the ninth inning. 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 the Astros an 8–6 lead that the Phillies did not recover from. https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=250907122 https://web.archive.org/web/20211215113250/https://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=250907122 dead December 15, 2021 Astros vs. Phillies - Game Recap - September 7, 2005 - ESPN As a result of another year out of the playoffs, general manager Ed Wade was fired at the end of the season.

Nevertheless, Kenny Lofton hit a three-run homer and Jon Lieber pitched 52 3 effective innings, leading the home team Philadelphia Phillies to an 8–4 victory over the new Nationals at Citizens Bank Park. (Lieber was credited with the win for the Phillies and would also score a win for Philadelphia in the last game of the 2005 Nationals season.) Outfielder Terrmel Sledge hit the Nats' first home run in the April 4 contest.
