Final Score: Nationals 6, Phillies 3
A game-tying two-run home run by Trea Turner in the bottom of the eighth on Saturday put some life back into the Phillies. After scoring one run on four hits on Friday night, they remained scoreless until Turner’s eighth-inning homer on Saturday. Nationals’ starter MacKenzie Gore was a big part in keeping the Phillies’ offense quiet. He limited them to four baserunners in his six innings of work. Gore also punched out nine hitters and generated 22 swings and misses.
The life Turner’s club had didn’t last for long.
