PHILADELPHIA -- Cesar Hernandez brought home Daniel Nava in the ninth inning Sunday with a two-out, walk-off, broken-bat single that dropped in front of a charging Jayson Werth in left to give the Phillies a 4-3 victory.
Walking Nava forced Nationals reliever Koda Glover to work with runners on base for the rest of the inning. A Freddy Galvis single two batters later sent Nava to third and Hernandez to the plate with a fifth-inning RBI single already under his belt.
Hernandez stayed with a the 1-1 slider from Glover that hung over the middle of the strike zone, snapping his bat and flicking the pitch the opposite way onto the left-field grass for a game-winning single, earning himself a red Gatorade bath courtesy of catcher Cameron Rupp.
