Phillies Streak Of Sellouts Ends At 257

The Phillies failed to sell out a regular season home game for the first time after 257 in a row on Monday night.

Atlanta beat Philadelphia 6-1 in front of 41,665 at Citizens Bank Park.

The streak, which started on July 7, 2009, is the longest ever in the National League and third-longest in Major League history.

"You kind of know it's going to happen," Jimmy Rollins said. "You would hope that it wouldn't. You would hope that one bad season wouldn't break it up. But that's the way it goes.

"People aren't going to spend money and come to the game if they don't feel they're getting their money's worth. And this year we've been a little short."
