Harper and Hill Homers in the 9th Help Rally Phillies to a 10-5 Victory over the Nationals
Harper’s ninth-inning homer capped Philadelphia’s third straight comeback win, and the Phillies scored 15 runs in the final inning of the series.
- On Thursday night, the Philadelphia Phillies rallied from an early five-run deficit to defeat the Washington Nationals 10-5, fueled by Bryce Harper's go-ahead two-run homer and Derek Hill's three-run shot in the ninth inning.
- Philadelphia trailed 5-0 early after starting pitcher Cristopher Sánchez allowed four runs in the first inning, as the Nationals capitalized on defensive struggles and Sánchez's uncharacteristic lack of sharpness.
- Brandon Marsh hit his 12th home run in the sixth inning to cut the lead to 5-2, and Justin Crawford and Trea Turner added back-to-back singles in the seventh before Alec Bohm tied it at 5.
- Harper's decisive blast was his 103rd career home run at Nationals Park, where he played his first seven seasons; the victory marked the third consecutive game the Phillies overcame a late-inning deficit to win.
- Phillies RHP Zack Wheeler starts Friday in New York, while Nationals LHP Andrew Alvarez takes the mound Friday in Baltimore.
