Base - Tripp Gibson, Third Base - Jeff Kellogg
Nationals notes – Edwin Jackson struggled, giving up two solo homers in
the second, then allowing three singles and two walks in the fourth while
recording only one out before being lifted … after coming in and retiring Nick
Williams for the second out, Solis walked Rhys Hoskins with the bases loaded to
force in the fifth and final run for the visitors … Nats cut their 5-1 deficit
to 5-4 on Michael A. Taylor’s 2-run HR in the fourth and RBI single in the
sixth
Phillies notes – Hoskins and Maikel Franco answered Howie Kendrick’s
first-inning homer for the Nats with solo shots of their own in the top of the
second … Mark Leiter Jr. pitched well enough to get the win, allowing 4 runs in
6 innings … bullpen kept the Nats off the board for the final 3 innings, with
Garcia fanning Murphy, Zimmerman, and Rendon in a 1-2-3 eighth
Other – sunny but not especially warm day, which got quite chilly as
the evening progressed … went to the Season Plan Holder Appreciation Party at
the park Saturday afternoon, a well-organized event featuring
question-and-answer sessions (general and kids-only), games, autograph
stations, and free snacks
