1,000 for Joe: Phillies 3, Nationals 2

There was a milestone in the grasp of Joe Girardi tonight if the team could pull out a victory. All he needed to do was depend on his bullpen

The Phillies sent Aaron Nola to the mound, hoping that he could rebound from a poor start versus the Braves against the Nationals lineup that didn’t do much last night, but still possesses one of the transcendent talents in the game in Juan Soto. Soto being such a great hitter, he wasted no time is showing his hitting prowess by jacking a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning.
