In their walk-off, series-clinching victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday afternoon, the Washington Nationals saw clutch hitting out of some unlikely heroes.
According to FanGraphs, Trea Turner and Bryce Harper are the top two hitters on the team in WAR. While that comes as no surprise, the two players that come behind them do. Utility men Wilmer Difo and Matt Adams have been called upon as injury replacements for key hitters in the lineup, and both have responded with flair.
Adams was the only Nats hitter to scrape anything across with Jake Arrieta on the mound Sunday, sending a towering 396-foot homer off the façade of the second deck to hand Washington an early 1-0 lead.
