Good news: Phillies score two.
Bad news: Cabrera looks awful striking out with runners second and third.

ButlerBulldog 2018-08-28 00:06:51 UTC #44

Not a good at-bat by Cabrera. After a big day Saturday, he’s reverted to his swing-at-everything approach.

LoneStarPhan 2018-08-28 00:08:52 UTC #45

Strasburg change up fooled him and Hernandez (on 2-0 pitch). Hernandez came back to get RBI single. Cabrera did not.

Soto

Foul (94.3 mph two-seam fastball)
Ball (93.8 mph four-seam fastball)
In play, no out (84.8 mph slider)

Juan Soto singles on a ground ball to center fielder Roman Quinn.

LoneStarPhan 2018-08-28 00:09:27 UTC #47

Needing a shut down inning, Eflin starts by giving up a hit.

Patchmk88 2018-08-28 00:09:51 UTC #48

This seems to be a pattern for our pitchers.

ButlerBulldog 2018-08-28 00:20:34 UTC #52

That last pitch was a strike, but Eflin’s not going to get any borderline pitches with the way he’s missing his spots.

LoneStarPhan 2018-08-28 00:20:45 UTC #53

Quinn saved Eflin once but Eflin continues to add to his troubles.

kikutaro 2018-08-28 00:21:01 UTC #54

Strasburg

In play, run(s) (93.0 mph two-seam fastball)

Stephen Strasburg reaches on a force attempt, throwing error by pitcher Zach Eflin. Juan Soto scores. Ryan Zimmerman to 3rd. Wilmer Difo to 2nd.

Washington Nationals 3 - Philadelphia Phillies 2

kikutaro 2018-08-28 00:22:01 UTC #55

Eaton

Swinging strike (88.5 mph changeup)
In play, out(s) (88.9 mph changeup)

Adam Eaton grounds into a force out, pitcher Zach Eflin to catcher Wilson Ramos. Ryan Zimmerman out at home. Wilmer Difo to 3rd. Stephen Strasburg to 2nd. Adam Eaton to 1st.

Patchmk88 2018-08-28 00:22:10 UTC #56

Eflin makes a mental mistake that gives the Nationals a run maybe more.

LoneStarPhan 2018-08-28 00:22:16 UTC #57

Easy force at home but Eflin missed the catcher by a mile. Awful play. Again, the sloop in the field haunts the Phillies.

ButlerBulldog 2018-08-28 00:22:26 UTC #58

Another fielding miscue. Why do these guys have so much trouble making routine plays?

Patchmk88 2018-08-28 00:24:24 UTC #59

The amount of mental miscues this team makes is simply amazing. Ramos with another one here no matter what the call is.

LoneStarPhan 2018-08-28 00:25:14 UTC #60

Bases loaded, one out. Back to back easy plays to the pitcher to get force at home. Getting one out of two (upheld on replay) is NOT good enough.
