[LoneStarPhan]

Holland came in with an ERA over 6.5 and a WHIP over 2, and promptly sets the Phillies down 1-2-3. I hope we have enough runs.

Difo

Pitching Change: Pat Neshek replaces Tommy Hunter, batting 8th.
Foul bunt (82.2 mph slider)
Swinging strike (89.6 mph sinker)
Foul (83.5 mph slider)
Foul (90.2 mph sinker)
Foul (83.3 mph slider)
In play, no out (84.3 mph slider)

Wilmer Difo triples (7) on a sharp fly ball to right fielder Nick Williams.

[Patchmk88]

And the Philly killer Difp delivers a triple.

[LoneStarPhan]

Difo sure is killing us. Williams misplayed ball off the wall making the triple easy.

Phillies have played a game filled with little mess-ups in the field. It does make a difference.

[EastFallowfield]

Our outfielders love to get as close as they can get to the fence so the balls that hit it bounce far away from them and runners get extra bases.

[kikutaro]

Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Andrew Stevenson replaces Greg Holland.
Foul (89.5 mph sinker)
Ball (89.3 mph sinker)
Swinging strike (81.3 mph slider)

Ball (89.5 mph sinker)
In play, run(s) (87.3 mph sinker)

[LoneStarPhan]

Williams play of the ball off the fence in right cost them a run that inning.
Earlier, failure to get an out on a chopped ball toward third that Eflin failed to pick up, set up a 3 run inning. All 3 scored after 2 outs.

[kikutaro]

Herrera, O

Pitching Change: Jimmy Cordero replaces Greg Holland, batting 9th, replacing Andrew Stevenson.
Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Odubel Herrera replaces Pat Neshek.
Ball (83.3 mph slider)
In play, no out (95.4 mph sinker)

Odubel Herrera reaches on a fielding error by first baseman Ryan Zimmerman.

[EastFallowfield]

I'm not gonna kill Eflin for not making a play on a luckily placed swinging bunt

[kikutaro]

Quinn

Pickoff Attempt 1B
Ball (93.7 mph sinker)
Called strike (95.4 mph sinker)
Pickoff Attempt 1B
Ball (97.0 mph sinker)
Pickoff Attempt 1B
In play, no out (97.0 mph sinker)

Roman Quinn singles on a soft ground ball to catcher Matt Wieters. Odubel Herrera to 2nd.

[kikutaro]

Hernández, C

Mound Visit.
Foul (96.4 mph sinker)
In play, out(s) (98.3 mph sinker)

Cesar Hernandez grounds into a force out, second baseman Wilmer Difo to shortstop Trea Turner. Odubel Herrera to 3rd. Roman Quinn out at 2nd. Cesar Hernandez to 1st.

[LoneStarPhan]

I'm not gonna kill Eflin for not making a play on a luckily placed swinging bunt

Agree. It would have been a nice play but pitchers who can make those plays really help themselves. Every out not recorded just makes another out for the pitcher to get. Nationals also have a run scored by Harper, who reached on the bunt single against the shift.

Now the Nationals are showing that every team does not always make the great plays.

[kikutaro]

Hoskins

Ball (99.2 mph sinker)
Ball (98.4 mph sinker)
Ball (97.5 mph sinker)
Ball (97.1 mph sinker)

Rhys Hoskins walks. Cesar Hernandez to 2nd.

[zambonir]

You can kill Eflin for not bunting.

This game is certainly fun, but only if it ends right.

[LoneStarPhan]

Pop up with bases loaded and one out. So frustrating.

[kikutaro]

Cabrera, A

Mound Visit.
Ball (99.4 mph sinker)
Foul (98.3 mph sinker)
In play, out(s) (98.3 mph sinker)

Asdrubal Cabrera pops out to third baseman Anthony Rendon in foul territory.

[LoneStarPhan]

Matt Grace coming in to face Bour. Nationals have a supply of LH relievers.
