Final: Nationals 6, Phillies 2
The last time the Philadelphia Phillies (39-33) played baseball, a position player was their best arm on the mound in their most lopsided defeat of the season. The baseball gods and mother nature have a funny way of collaborating and after five hours of rain delays and two postponements in the nation’s capital, the Phillies were granted two days of rest and resumed their season with the first of a day-night doubleheader against the Washington Nationals (34-38). The two days off did not result in a different outcome as the Phillies dropped this game to the Nationals by a final of 6-2.
