PHILADELPHIA – A bell rings every time the Phillies hit a home run here at Citizens Bank Park.
And on Tuesday night the bell tolled twice with Washington ace Max Scherzer on the mound, as he gave up a longball in the fourth and another in the fifth.
But there was no ringing bell in the top of the ninth as Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon hit a two-run homer off Phillies reliever Pat Neshek in a 5-4 comeback victory. Bryce Harper, who struck out in his first three at-bats, drew a walk to lead off the ninth and then Rendon went deep for a 4-3 lead.
