Overview

  • Daylen Lile singled home Dylan Crews in the ninth off Jhoan Duran, then stole third and scored the winner on a throwing error by the catcher.
  • Dylan Crews’ double was the first extra-base hit Duran has allowed since he was acquired by Philadelphia.
  • It was Duran’s first blown save with the Phillies after converting his first seven opportunities.
  • Riley Adams opened the scoring with a three-run homer in the first before Bryson Stott tied it with a two-run shot and J.T. Realmuto briefly put Philadelphia ahead with a solo homer.
  • Nationals reliever P.J. Poulin retired all six batters he faced to earn his first major-league win as Philadelphia’s four-game winning streak ended.
