The Philadelphia Phillies have beaten the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 tonight, winning the World Series four games to one. This is the Phillies' second World Series, their first being the 1980 win over Kansas City. Tonight was actually the second part of Game 5: The teams started Game 5 on Monday night, but the MLB decided to suspend the game due to rain in the middle of the sixth inning, with the score tied at 2-2. Tonight, the Phillies and Rays completed the remaining 3 1/2 innings, with the Phillies victorious, 4-3. Pitcher Cole Hamels, who won Game 1 and pitched six innings of Game 5, was named MVP (he's also the NLCS MVP). The Phillies are also the Mets' current division rival--the Amazin's have a bit of work to do!
