How Jeanmar Gomez got revenge on Bryce Harper

In their series opening win against the Nationals on Tuesday, the nail biter came down to two men. Jeanmar Gomez and Bryce Harper.

Admit it, you were nervous.

Even though this is a season in which no one expects to end with the Phillies going to the playoffs, finishing with a winning record, or heck, even getting to the mid-70s in wins, Tuesday night's 4-3 victory over the Nationals made you nervous.

You were biting your nails as the Phils desperately held onto their one-run lead, with Anthony Rendon at first base and the game's hottest and most dangerous slugger, Bryce Harper at the plate.
