The Washington Nationals and Philidelphia Phillies have played some great baseball over the course of the first two weeks of the 2019 season. With the season series tied 2-2, the teams wrapped up a three-game set Wednesday night with a battle of Jeremy Hellickson vs Nick Pivetta.
The Nationals wasted no time carrying their momentum over from Tuesday nights 10-6 comeback victory. Washington’s first three batters of the game reached base against Pivetta, and with the bases loaded Juan Soto worked a walk, giving the Nationals an early 1-0 lead.
