"It wasn't about the postseason, and who would go and who wouldn't. That much was decided before Friday. The Phillies are in. The Marlins are out. And all that was left for the two teams to determine over the season's final weekend were the details, without the drama.

The Phillies, for example, already have wrapped up the division title and are only playing for home-field advantage in the playoffs.

The Marlins?

Well, their 7-2 victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park moved them into a tie with the Atlanta Braves for second place in the division. And there's runner-up money -- ``Christmas money,'' said reliever Brendan Donnelly -- if the Marlins can finish in the second spot.

Other than that, it was mostly about individual numbers.

PINCH-HIT TANDEM

Stuff like Wes Helms collecting his 17th pinch-hit with a single in the seventh, when the Marlins added insurance. Helms and teammate Ross Gload, who has 21 pinch-hits, need one more between them to tie the major-league record for most pinch-hits by a tandem.

``It means a lot to us because that's been our role this year,'' Helms said.

Stuff like Jorge Cantu driving in three runs, giving him 99.

``There's a lot of difference between 99 and 100,'' Cantu said. ``You try for three-digit numbers as a run producer.''"
