Don Mattingly delivers NSFW Phillies message after squeaking into MLB playoffs

The Philadelphia Phillies secured a spot in the MLB postseason with a 7-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 162 on Sunday. Following the win, manager Don Mattingly delivered an expletive-filled celebration speech in the locker room, emphasizing that making the playoffs was all that mattered despite recent struggles.

Philadelphia previously held a four-game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks before losing four straight games to jeopardize their wild-card position. Starting pitcher Zack Wheeler, originally scheduled to pitch Tuesday, pitched six innings of one-run ball to help clinch the berth. The Phillies now open the NL Wild Card series against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday.
