Everyone hits!!! After Nola escaped a base loaded top of the first with a Double play (Franco steps on the bag and fired to first) the Phillies have batted around scoring 4 runs with 2 outs (both SF's Franco and Galvis) Nola batting. Other runs scored on Saunders and Joseph rbi single. (Herrera, Rupp walked ) other singled (Whoops Hernandez doubled to lead off the inning...Now Nola walks with 2 outs

[Lucky_Beagle]

BOOOOO inning ends....K for Rupp

[BostonRoss]

The Phillies were 9 for 9 before Rupp's K.

[DurhamBull]

The Nats are playing like the Bad News Bears today. I guess every team has those days. Glad it's not the Phils.

[Patchmk88]

Franco

Official scorer needs to give a hit to Herrera on last at bat. He clearly had the throw beat regardless of weather it was overthrown or not. Should be a single and one base error

[DurhamBull]

Phormer Phil Joe Blanton coming in to pitch for the Nats.

[BostonRoss]

What happened to the rest of Blanton?

[DurhamBull]

What happened to the rest of Blanton?

Left it behind in LA perhaps?

[zambonir]

Blanton looked like that last year too, he did well for himself. They showed his '08 home run during the game which remains as favorite a memory as I have. He also pitched so great that night. That's when it felt, to me, like they were going to win the series.

[DurhamBull]

Blanco hits the first Phils' HR of the game in the 7th to give them a 15-3 lead.

[DurhamBull]

Hernandez follows with a triple and Kendrick scores him with a single, so it's 16-3.

Kendrick erased on a DP (Herrera batting).

[DurhamBull]

Rupp with a HR in the 8th makes it 17-3.
