Mlb_jun_02_8465

With today's victory over the Mets, the Phillies have decreased their magic number by one. Entering this afternoon's series finale the Phillies had a magic number of 34. Who better t represent the new magic number, 33, than Aaron Rowand, who played a critical role in turning the Phillies into a legitimate World Series contender.

With the Atlanta Braves having a day off, the magic number will remain 33 heading into Tuesday's games.
