Soon after Ryan Zimmerman was interviewed on the field, the Nationals Park sound system blasted a 1975 song with the lyrics “I believe in miracles” late Wednesday night.
It may take a miracle for the Nationals to make the playoffs, but for one night their fans were dreaming big.
First baseman Zimmerman hit a two-run, two-out homer in the last of the ninth off Phillies reliever Seranthony Dominguez as the Nationals came back for an 8-7 victory against their National League East rivals before a crowd of 31,855.
It was the 11th career walk-off homer for Zimmerman and his first since May 15, 2016, against the Yankees.
