Harper

Ball in dirt (89.5 mph sinker)
In play, run(s) (90.9 mph sinker)

Bryce Harper singles on a sharp line drive to right fielder Adam Eaton. Zach Eflin scores. Jean Segura to 2nd.

Philadelphia Phillies 5 - Washington Nationals 1

[zambonir]

Nice.

Clearly they just want Herrera in the field. Small samples/big hits aside, a rusty Herrera at the plate is still better than having any of the bench OFs in the line-up (though I feel like the Cutch/Williams experiment worked well).

Hoskins

Ball (91.5 mph sinker)
Ball (89.7 mph sinker)
Ball (82.5 mph slider)
Called strike (90.2 mph sinker)
In play, run(s) (88.3 mph cutter)
246 ft line drive (exit speed: 107 mph, launch angle: 17°)

Rhys Hoskins doubles (8) on a sharp line drive to left fielder Andrew Stevenson. Jean Segura scores. Bryce Harper scores.

[LoneStarPhan]

The home plate ump hurts the Nationals by calling ball four (well outside), a strike on 3-0 pitch. Thus Hoskins could get the double.

Herrera hits ball to make final out of the inning. I am sure he will start hitting again soon. He has always been a streaky hitter. He doesn't have to hit much to better Altherr's sub 40 batting average.

Do we get to see De Los Santos today?
