Final Score: Nationals 13, Phillies 12
On a beautiful summer day in South Philadelphia the Phillies and Nationals met for one of the wildest games all season. The four-and-a-half hour affair witnessed plenty of action, including 15 runs scored in one-and-a-half innings, five home runs (two of which were grand slams) and more blown leads than a Sixers playoff series.
After the Phillies jumped out to a 5-0 lead behind Vince Velasquez, the Nationals responded by plating five men in the fifth. The home team responded with four more, but the visitors tacked on a six-spot in the sixth.
