Losing any game sucks, but losing like this is next to unbearable.
Let’s get right into it:
Jake Arrieta began on the mound for the Phils, and hit some bumps early, allowing two singles and a GIDP to plate a run for the Nationals, giving them a swift 1-0 advantage.
On the other side, Patrick Corbin took to the bump for the Nationals. The Phillies saw the lefty extremely well today, as proven by a single from Jean Segura which fed into a double by Bryce Harper. Rhys Hoskins then walked to load the bases, allowing JT Realmuto to shoot a sacrifice fly to right field, plating Segura, and tying this game up at 1.
