Phillies clinch playoffs


The Philadelphia Phillies are back in the postseason for the first time since 2011 after clinching the final National League wild-card spot Monday by beating the Houston Astros 3-0 at Minute Maid Park.

Aaron Nola carried a perfect game into the seventh inning before surrendering a two-out single to Yordan Alvarez. The former All-Star finished with nine strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings while allowing two hits.
