Weather: 77 degrees, sunny.

Wind: 3 mph, Out to RF.

T: 2:56 (:12 delay).

Att: 35,330.  [counting only humans, or “Pups in the Park” as well???]

Section 128, Row RR, Seats 13-14 – lower level, first base line, just beyond the “premium” seats, closer to the concourse than to the field, but therefore in the shade

 

Highlights – longest HR of Harper’s career so far … pinch-runner Ben Revere’s speed manufactures winning run for Phils in the 7^th after a leadoff walk to Ryan Howard … Phils bullpen blanks Nats over final 3 innings to preserve the lead

 

Other – two more misplays by Desmond result in 2 Philadelphia runs in the top of the 3^rd … Jordan Zimmermann walks 4 batters, 2 of whom score … HP umpire Brian Knight had to leave game in the top of the ninth after taking a Blake Treinen fastball directly in his face mask
