Game notes – Phils drew first blood in the top of the 3rd,
when Rhys Hoskins homered following a base hit by pitcher Nick Pivetta … Pivetta
struggled in the bottom of the 4th, yielding a leadoff HR by Rendon
followed by 3 straight singles to tie the game … following a 38-minute rain
delay, Pivetta returned to strike out the side and prevent further damage … Nats
starter Jefry Rodriguez exited after giving up a walk and a HBP to start the 5th,
and the visitors took a 6-2 lead off Sammy Solis on a 2-run triple by Odubel
Herrera followed by a Nick Williams homer … Nats staged a 2-out rally in the 6th,
on a pinch single by Eaton, followed by a Turner triple and back-to-back
doubles by Harper and Rendon … Nats won it with another 3-run inning in the 8th,
on a 2-out bases-loaded single by Murphy, followed by Michael A. Taylor’s RBI
single … Kelley, Grace, Madson, and Doolittle held Philadelphia scoreless over
the final 4 innings
Other – early arrival led to some spirited table tennis and a stop at
B-Dubs … courtesy of some friends, we got to spend the rain delay and the
remainder of the game in one of the club-level suites
