Washington NationalsvsPhiladelphia Phillies
WSH 3/PHI 6
Things to say
The Phillies beat the Nationals 6-3 at home in Philadelphia.
01
opener
Phils took care of business, 6-3 over Washington. Never really felt in doubt after the middle innings. Good night at the Bank.
02
key player
The heart of the order carried it — a couple guys left the yard and the Phillies just kept adding on. That's the version of this lineup you pay to see.
03
hot take
Six runs is nice, but I still don't fully trust this bullpen. They keep making the last two innings way more interesting than they need to be.
04
deep cut
Washington's at 55-59 now and honestly hanging around better than people give them credit for. This wasn't a laugher — they had traffic on the bases all game.
05
exit
Anyway, Phils are ten over .500 and rolling. Curious what they do next time these two line up.
The recap
Phillies took care of business at home, knocking off the Nationals 6-3 to keep their grip on the division. The bats did the damage early and the lineup kept the pressure on, never letting Washington climb back into it.
The bullpen slammed the door late and made the lead stand up. Solid win at the Bank that pushes Philly to 60-53.
