On Sunday night, the red-hot Philadelphia Phillies played the star-studded Washington Nationals in a nationally televised game with major implications in the division standings. The Nats erased a four-run deficit to secure a thrilling 8-6 victory, but a scary moment in the top of the eighth stood out the most in the eyes of this writer.
A few innings after a 40-minute rain delay, Philadelphia third baseman Maikel Franco hit a sharp grounder to second that infielder Wilmer Difo had a tough time handling. Franco ran the ball out and Difo threw it wide, handing him an easy single.
