2009 O-Pee-Chee #366 Jayson Werth

Nationals 5Phillies 4
Game 63 - Sunday Afternoon, June 12th in Washington
Record - 29-34, 4th place, 10 games behind the Nationals

One Sentence Summary:  Maikel Franco's solo home run in the top of the ninth off Jonathan Papelbon gave the Phillies a temporary lead, but Jeanmar Gomez couldn't keep the Nationals off the board in the bottom of the ninth.

What It Means:  What's worse - an 8-0 blow-out loss in which the Phillies are never really in the ballgame or a 5-4 walk-off, heart-breaker of a loss in which a former franchise hero seals the victory for the opposition?

What Happened:  We were ecstatic in The Phillies Room World HQ after Franco's blast off Papelbon.  But Gomez couldn't convert the save, loading the bases and then allowing a two-run single to Werth.  It was his second blown save of the season.  Cesar Hernandez certainly didn't help with a bad throw to first that allowed Bryce Harper to reach, starting the rally.

Prior to the dramatic ninth inning, the Phils battled back from a 3-0 deficit with a Cody Asche solo home (1), an RBI double from Odubel Herrera and an RBI single from Freddy Galvis.  Adam Morgan had a rough first few innings, but settled in to hold the Nationals off the board in the third through seventh innings.

Featured Card:  Here's a vintage Werth card, back when he didn't look like a crazed hobo.
