Hopefully running the bases is not going to hurt Vince.

It’s always a delicate balance for Vince between effectiveness and imminent disaster. Things going south quickly this inning

Bottling the good Vince is tricky.

Washington Nationals 5 - Philadelphia Phillies 5

[LoneStarPhan]

Pathetic. Blow 5 run lead and still only one out. Two gift runs from starting inning with back to back walks.

[andyb]

We used all 3 LHPs yesterday. I was wondering whether using Falter for only 1 inning yesterday was wise. He would have been a good choice here with Suarez likely unavailable. A little early for Alvarado who is probably the only who can go back to back.

[kikutaro]

Ball (93.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (93.5 mph four-seam fastball)

[mdougherty12]

I’m a little surprised that Girardi didn’t go with Ranger Suarez in that spot with the lefties at the top of Washington’s lineup.

[kikutaro]

Juan Soto

Pickoff Attempt 1B
Pickoff Attempt 1B
Ball (85.8 mph changeup)
Pickoff Attempt 1B
In play, out(s) (93.1 mph four-seam fastball)

Juan Soto flies out to left fielder Travis Jankowski.

[andyb]

1.2 IP yesterday. That is why using Falter was bad because it took both of them out today (Falter not used to being a reliever).

[kikutaro]

Josh Bell

Ball (93.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Pickoff Attempt 1B
Ball (84.8 mph changeup)
Ball (85.4 mph changeup)
Called strike (92.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (93.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (93.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Josh Bell walks. Trea Turner to 2nd.

[LoneStarPhan]

Another 3-0 count and ultimately, another walk.

Bradley not impressing again today.

[kikutaro]

Josh Harrison

Foul (93.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (93.5 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (76.3 mph knuckle curve)
In play, out(s) (94. mph four-seam fastball)

Two gift runs from starting inning with back to back walks

The “single” that was a pop up that dropped between Herrera and Miller was a third gift that inning.
