Real or Not? Late-game failures add to Phillies' fade

This was one of the best nights of the season. The action was so rapid-fire across the league it was almost impossible to keep up on everything, with more twists and turns than an HBO miniseries. I'm here to serve you, dear readers, so don't worry, I've reviewed an amazing night of baseball to bring you the important highlights.

Get the fork ready for the Phillies: This game had a little bit of everything. Aaron Nola dueling Max Scherzer, a couple home runs off Scherzer to stake the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-0 lead over the Washington Nationals, another brutal collapse by the Phillies' bullpen, and then a gut punch in the bottom of the ninth when the final out came with a pitcher pinch-running at second base leaving second base too early on a fly ball.
