Philadelphia Phillies
Washington Nationals
Rhys had not made an out tonight until he makes two in this at bat.
It all comes down to the bull pen once again. Ramos and Garcia were strong. Can Neris get another scoreless inning?

Final
Had 'em all the way, Harry!
Galvis nice play to end the game
Leiter had a solid game, the 2 run HR by Taylor came on a high FB out of the K-zone and outside, I can live with that.Bullpen was lights out, Ramos/Garcia/Neris are shaping into a solid trio.
It will be nice if Altherr is ready to start today. I think I have seen enough of Kim and would at least prefer developmental at bats going to someone like Perkins or even putting Galvis out there a bit so JP can play more SS.
