We are going to overtime, second time this homestand.
Do we go with Duran?
His arm might fall off the rate we are going, so no.
Well here comes Duran. The entrance rite isn't as impressive during the day.
Banks went further yesterday so it probably would have been Mayza if not Duran. Hopefully Kerkering can lengthen the circle of trust back there when he returns.
Joey Wiemer
Dylan Moore remains in the game as the designated hitter.Pitching Change: Jhoan Duran replaces José Alvarado.Daylen Lile starts inning at 2nd base.Foul (94.7 mph sinker)Swinging strike (85.8 mph sweeper)Batter Timeout.Swinging strike (86.9 mph sweeper)
Joey Wiemer strikes out swinging.
The next time we see Wiemer, he'll be hitting .220.
Heady defensive play! Now, let's get the ghost in!

CJ Abrams lines into a double play, second baseman Edmundo Sosa to shortstop Trea Turner. Daylen Lile out at 2nd.
I was worried about Duran coming in some 18 hours after he threw 20 pitches. Pretty happy he needed only six today!
Now the Nats don't have ideal pitching options. Time to win this.
Yeah it was still daylight on Saturday too. Some complain that it is overkill for a tie game too. But it's his walkout, regardless of situation. Pretty sure it played for mop-up work in a blowout loss last year too.
J.T. Realmuto

J.T. Realmuto singles on a line drive to right fielder Joey Wiemer. Brandon Marsh to 3rd.
Now Crawford needs to show us how to put the ball in the air.
CRAWFORD! Kid's been our MVP so far!
Justin Crawford
In play, run(s) (92.4 mph four-seam fastball)
Justin Crawford singles on a sharp ground ball to right fielder Joey Wiemer. Brandon Marsh scores. J.T. Realmuto to 2nd.

Had ‘em all the way, Harry!
Final
I'm glad it's warmer in Philly than it is in Massachusetts. 'Cause Crawford is about to get a cold bath!
