Appreciation Day, in the wake of the Nationals fragging their manager
Aaron Harang
actually pitched well for the Phils, going 6 innings and only allowing
back-to-back dingers in the second by Desmond and den Dekker … Gio blanked Philadelphia
through 5, before exiting with the dreaded “Gonzalez pitched to 5 batters in
the 6th” (3 singles followed by 2 bases-loaded walks) … Nats retook
the lead with 2 in the bottom of the seventh, but it quickly vanished half an
inning later, when Casey (“I think I underachieved a little bit”) Janssen
served up a two-run tater to Jeff Francoeur … Papelbon recorded the final out
of the eighth, which meant he was in the dugout for the fateful tussle with
Harper … Pap was sent back back out for the ninth and gave up a two-run shot by
noted slugger Andres Blanco (10 HRs in 800+ major-league at-bats), as the Phils
put up an 8-spot … in addition to the promotional item of the day (red
Nationals gloves), I snagged one of the caps that they were tossing into the
Red Porch area in CF after the game ended
