Things got a little dicey in the ninth inning but Trea Turner came up huge once again to lead the Phillies to a 3-2 victory over the Nationals.
It's a knee-jerk reaction to say after games where a club has an offensive explosion — even more so when a team cashes in 22 runs in the span of 48 hours.While the offense did simmer — the Phillies did what mattered most — win the game ... even if it got a little dicey toward the end.
Brandon Marsh subbed in for Weston Wilson and led off in the bottom of the ninth. He ripped a double to right and the crowd of 41,067 rose to their feet and didn't sit for the rest of the night. Cal Stevenson, subbing in for Johan Rojas, laid down a textbook bunt that no one in the Nationals infield went after at first. Kyle Schwarber walked to load the bases and Trea Turner called game.
He left the game in the sixth inning responsible for runners on second and third. Matt Strahm entered and only needed four pitches before Alex Call flied out to Nick Castellanos to get out of the jam. Bryson Stott, Rojas and Castellanos all stole bases before the fourth inning. Castellanos' marked just his fifth of the season — and with two outs — it paid off.The Phillies rightfielder was also credited for the first run of the inning, with a single scoring Turner.
