made his major league debut on opening day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cJust staying within myself, trying to get a ball up and put a good swing on it,\u201d Crawford said.<\/p>\n
Sosa ended the top of the 10th with a leaping catch of a CJ Abrams line drive, doubling the automatic runner off second base for winning pitcher Jhoan Duran (1-1).<\/p>\n
Washington starter Cade Cavalli went six innings, allowing one run, five hits and two walks and striking out three.<\/p>\n
Abrams hit a three-run home run in the seventh inning. Daylen Lile, Brady House and Joey Wiemer each had two hits. Wiemer, who entered leading the majors with a .615 average, scored twice.<\/p>\n
Cristopher S\u00e1nchez pitched 5 1\/3 innings for the Phillies, allowing one run, four hits and four walks and striking out seven.<\/p>\n
The Phillies took a lead in the first inning when Trea Turner scored on Kyle Schwarber\u2019s double.<\/p>\n
The Nationals scored in the second on an infield single and two walks. With the bases loaded, S\u00e1nchez struck out Drew Millas on a pitch in the dirt, and Realmuto threw to first base trying to pick off Jacob Young, allowing Wiemer to score. Millas hit an RBI single in the sixth.<\/p>\n
The homers were the first of the season for Realmuto and Harper. Harper had been 2-for-23 at the plate before the homer.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst-pitch curveball, still chasing a little too much but I feel good,\u201d Harper said. \u201cWe\u2019ll get it going.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the second time this week that the Phillies have come back from down multiple runs in the ninth inning to push the game to extras, having lost in 10 to the Rangers on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re never out of it,\u201d Harper said. \u201cObviously, we\u2019ve got a great group of guys in here, and we can grind back and have good at bats and put balls in play. It\u2019s a good comeback win right there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Up next<\/p>\n
Both teams are off Thursday. The Nationals prepare for their home opener against the World Series champion Dodgers on Friday. Their starting pitcher is to be announced.<\/p>\n
The Phillies begin a road trip in Colorado. Aaron Nola (0-0, 5.40 ERA) will take the mound against former Phillies starter Michael Lorenzen (0-0, 6.23) for the Rockies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Staff and Wire Reports PHILADELPHIA \u2014 Rookie Justin Crawford had an RBI single in the 10th inning after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":658415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2398],"tags":[5,4,415,25,185,4802,414,71,4222],"class_list":{"0":"post-658414","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-nationals","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-nationals","11":"tag-philadelphia-phillies","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-top-stories-tmc","14":"tag-washington","15":"tag-washington-nationals","16":"tag-washingtonnationals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116334300382498487","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=658414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/658414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/658415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=658414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=658414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=658414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
