Delaying the inevitable: Phillies 7, Nationals 5

Thanks to a rain delay of about three and a half hours, Sunday’s game between the Phillies and Nationals took over seven hours to complete. However, the delay couldn’t change the reality that when the Phillies play the Nationals, the Phillies almost always win. On Sunday, home runs by Rhys Hoskins and Alec Bohm were the key factors in a 7-5 Phillies win.

If you wanted to be able to watch both the Phillies and Eagles on Sunday, then you might be happy about the delay. If you happened to have tickets to the game, you were probably less excited about the game being suspended for over three hours.
