Nationals Park - Washington, DC
43-36, 2nd Place, 5 1/2 games behind the Braves
43-36, 2nd Place, 5 1/2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: With two outs, the Phillies scored eight runs in the top of the ninth inning, tying the game on a Brandon Marsh two-run home run and taking the lead on a three-home run from Bryson Stott is this all-time great comeback win.
What It Means: Incredible! I excused myself from a networking event and caught the last part of this game from my laptop in my hotel room as the Phillies somehow miraculously pulled off this come from behind win.
What Happened: The Phillies were behind 5-0 after four innings and trailed 5-3 after seven innings. Jesus Luzardo battled through 6 2/3 innings, allowing all five runs but striking out a career-high 13. In the top of the eighth, J.T. Realmuto laced a bases-clearing double to right fielder James Wood that popped out of Woods' glove and then was kicked, allowing the Phillies to take a 6-5 lead. The Nationals quickly took back the lead in the bottom of the eighth when Jorbit Vivas connected for a three-run home run off Orion Kerkering.

With two outs and down to their last strike in the top of the ninth, this happened: Trea Turner singled, Marsh homered to tie the game at 8-8, Bryce Harper singled, pinch-hitter Derek Hill singled, Stott hit his three-run home run, Realmuto walked, Gabriel Rincones, Jr. singled, Edmundo Sosa doubled two more runs home, Justin Crawford walked, Turner singled Sosa home. What an amazing, all-time memorable game for the Phils.
Featured Card: Topps Now gave us a card for this game, and I wish they could have also included Stott somehow as he had the big tie-breaking home run.
