WASHINGTON -- Tis better to receive than to give. At least when it comes to inside-the-park grand slams.
In the Washington Nationals' 11-10 victory Friday night, Michael Taylor was the beneficiary of a gift from Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Odubel Herrera, who misplayed a Taylor line drive and turned it into an inside-the-park salami. The wacky play occurred nearly two years after the last time there was an ITPGS, when Taylor himself botched a sinking liner off the bat of Philly’s Aaron Altherr in September 2015.
