Notes – the ultimate see-saw game, which was tied 3-3 when we left the
building in the middle of the 6th … worst moment came in the top of
the 4th, when Scherzer was hit on the left knee by a 100-MPH liner
off the bat of Michael Saunders … Max stayed in the game, and after allowing
two runs to score in the inning, struck out the Phils on 9 pitches in the 5th
before allowing another run in his final inning of work … Velasquez was his
typical inefficient self for Philadelphia, needing 100 pitches to get through 5
innings while allowing 3 runs … Luis Garcia allowed the Nats to take the lead
in the bottom of the 6th by allowing a double to pinch-hitter Brian
Goodwin after walking leadoff batter Anthony Rendon … Phils went back on top in
the 8th when Matt Grace and Jacob Turner each walked a batter and
Galvis tripled them home … Nats regained the lead in the bottom of the frame on
a two-run homer by Taylor (who had fanned in his previous 3 ABs) off Neshek,
and Matt Albers saved the day (and game) for the Nats with a 1-2-3 ninth
