Game notes – Jake Arrieta got through 6 innings on only 75 pitches,
allowing just one run on a 2nd-inning homer by the red-hot Matt
Adams … Phils fanned 15 times against Scherzer, but ran his pitch count up
enough to get him out of the game in the 7th with one out and one on
… went on to score 3 runs in the frame on a single by Nick Williams (hitting
for Arrieta) off Solis, followed by a Hoskins double and Herrera single off
Kintzler … stretched their lead to 4-1 in the top of the 8th on a
Franco HR off Carlos Torres … Nats closed the gap in the bottom of the inning
when Philadelphia relievers walked 2 consecutive batters, who both scored on Rendon’s
bases-loaded single … Washington completed the rally in the bottom of the 9th
as Neris imploded (leadoff single, errant pickoff attempt, hit batter,
consecutive walks to force in the tying run) and Difo hit a walk-off single
with the Phils deploying a 5-man infield
Other – Nats lost all 4 games I saw on their first home stand (3-7
overall), and won all 4 this time around (overall 7-3) … Signature Sunday featured Moises Sierra and Pedro Severino … the
expected rain never arrived
