Summary

The Nats beat the Phillies 3-2 on a tension filled evening in Philadelphia. Max Scherzer made his dissatisfaction quite clear with the new protocol of checking pitchers for sticky substances. His aggravation escalated as Phillies Manager Joe Girardi requested a third check, which led to fireworks between the two. Oh by the way, Washington is now tied for second place in the NL East, as they have won eight of the past nine games. (18:40) Brad Hand made his fourth appearance in the past five days. It worked out well, but it sure was an adventurous four out save. Plus, Tanner Rainey assumed eighth inning duties as Kyle Finnegan was placed on the IL. (24:30) The offense had a strong start to the night as they knocked out Zack Wheeler prior to the fourth inning. That is where the compliments end. Learn more about your ad choices.
