WASHINGTON (AP) — Alec Bohm hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the 10th inning Thursday, and J.T. Realmuto added a two-run triple, lifting the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-3 victory over the Washington Nationals for a successful start to their NL East title defense.
Zack Wheeler went six innings for the Phillies, giving up two hits and one run — on Keibert Ruiz's homer in the fifth that put the Nationals ahead 1-0.
