Game 12 - Sunday Afternoon, April 16th in Washington
Record - 4-8, 5th place, 3 games behind the Marlins and Nationals
One Sentence Summary: Joaquin Benoit and Bryce Harper combined to ruin Cesar Hernandez's big day as Harper's walk-off home run off the new Phillies' closer led to a 6-4 Nationals win.
What It Means: I enjoyed relaxing and watching this game on Easter Sunday afternoon . . . until Benoit and Harper went and ruined it all.
What Happened: Hernandez was on base four times with three hits and a walk, including a lead-off home run (3) to begin the game. Daniel Nava and Tommy Joseph singled home two runs in the eighth to tie up the game at 3-3. Freddy Galvis gave the Phillies a temporary lead in the ninth with a fielder's choice to score Aaron Altherr.
Harper homered off Benoit with two on and two outs in the ninth to give the Nationals the win and the series victory.
Featured Card: This is the veteran Benoit's sole Phillies card to date, found within the team's photo card set.
