[shrug emoji]: Nationals 4, Phillies 2

I’ve sat down to start this recap several times tonight, but every time I did, I couldn’t get anything down. I kept thinking that the story of this game hadn’t happened yet.

And I was right. The story of this game was Matt Albers getting his first save. After finishing 102 games in his career, the second most all-time finished without a save, he did it.

Matt Albers pounds his chest with his fist. He has scaled the mountain. He has slain the giant. He has finally recorded a save.

No, he’s not on the Phillies.
