Game notes – Strasburg struggled in his return from the DL, giving up 2
doubles and a Maikel Franco HR in the first after fanning the first two
batters, a Justin Bour homer in the third, and an RBI single by Roman Quinn in
the fourth before being lifted … Nats answered back each time, with a run in
the first, 3 to tie in the third (on RBI hits by Harper, Soto, and Wieters),
and 1 more in the fourth … after Phillies starter Zach Eflin gave up 10 hits in
3 1/3 innings, the Philadelphia bullpen held the home team scoreless until the
eighth … Philadelphia took a 7-5 lead with a run in the sixth off Wander Suero
and a solo HR by Cesar Hernandez an inning later … Washington narrowed the
deficit to a single run in the bottom of the eighth when Wilmer Difo (replacing
the traded Daniel Murphy) led off with a triple off Pat Neshek and scored on a
sac fly by Andrew Stevenson (recalled Tuesday to replace the traded Matt Adams)
… after Seranthony Dominguez retired Harper and Rendon in the bottom of the
ninth, Soto dumped a double into RF and Ryan Zimmerman supplied the 11th
walk-off homer of his career, after review reversed the initial call of a
double
Other – we started heading out after Rendon’s at-bat in the ninth to be
sure of not missing the final Metro train of the evening
