Game 133 - Thursday Afternoon, September 2nd in Washington
Record - 69-64, 2nd Place, 2 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies overcame a 6-0 deficit to win this game, 7-6, making it six games in a row and putting them just two games behind the Braves.
What It Means: Following a damaging day of wind and rain from Hurricane Ida, the Phillies completed a three-game sweep of the Nationals and made their way to Miami for a weekend series.
What Happened: Aaron Nola and Bailey Falter combined to allow six runs on eight hits through the first 4 2/3 innings. The Phillies bullpen then settled in and kept the Nationals scoreless for the rest of the game. Sam Coonrod picked up the win while Ian Kennedy recorded his sixth save with the Phillies.
Andrew McCutchen cleared the bases with a double to left in the top of the sixth. He singled in the top of the eighth to improve the score to 6-4. Two ground balls (from Nick Maton and Odubel Herrera) and a costly error from Nationals second baseman Luis Garcia gave the Phillies an improbable 7-6 lead in the eighth.
Featured Card: Here's hoping McCutchen gets red hot down the stretch. He went 2 for 5 in this game with four huge RBIs.
Transactions: Active rosters expanded to 28 players on September 1st, and the Phillies added a pair of relievers. Cam Bedrosian (rhp) and Ramon Rosso (rhp) had their contracts selected from Lehigh Valley. Didi Gregorius (ss) was moved to the restricted list to extend his paternity leave by a day. Rhys Hoskins (1b) was moved to the 60-day injured list. Seranthony Dominguez (rhp) was activated from the injured list and optioned to Lehigh Valley.
