Notes – Gio struggled with high pitch counts the first couple of
innings, but didn’t allow a run until Tommy Joseph took him deep in the 7th
… by that time, the Nats had built a 3-0 lead off Hellickson on a Harper solo
shot in the 1st and a 2-run blast by Turner in the 5th …
Matt Albers got the final out of the 7th and combined with Enny
Romero to keep the Phils off the board in the 8th … Phillies finally
broke through against the Nats beleaguered bullpen in the 9th, as
Aaron Altherr led off with a homer off Kelley, followed by hard-hit doubles by
Franco and Rupp to tie things up … after Kelley walked Galvis, Koda Glover came
in and gave up a game-deciding single to the seldom-used Ty Kelly … 3 Phils
relievers held the Nats scoreless over the final 4 innings (with Neris getting
the save), despite combining with Hellickson to fan only one Nationals batter
the entire game
Other – beautiful Mother’s Day weather for what turned out to be two
ballgames, as Friday’s game (to which we had tickets) featuring a Trea Turner
bobblehead giveaway was postponed and rescheduled for Sunday night … we left
the park after Game 1 of the split double-header and immediately got into the
(then relatively short) Season Plan Holder line outside the left field gate …
all of the lines got incredibly long as the 6:10 gate opening time approached,
and reportedly things got somewhat cutthroat and testy
