Nationals 3 Phillies 1
It Was Over When......
The Phillies fell behind 3-1 in the 6th inning. The Phils, were just off all night and this deficit late in the game never allowed them to get on.
The Game Ball Goes To......
The Nationals pitching staff which held the Phils to just 1 run on 5 hits, and Brian Schneider who continues to kill the Phillies, this time with 2 hits and 2 RBIs.
The Stat of The Game is......
4:30, as in a 4 and 1/2 hour rain delay at the onset of the game. Instead, of coming out fired up at 7:00 and ready to get a win, the Phils were forced to come out over 4 hours later at 11:30, and the lull that this put over them, physically and mentally never wore off.
The Bottom Line is......
This loss was a real killer for the Phillies, as it put them 2 games behind the Dodgers for the wildcard with just 3 games to play. If they want to make the playoffs now, they are going to have to sweep the Marlins in their final series of the year and get a whole lot of help from the San Francisco Giants, who will be playing the Dodgers this weekend. Well, happy trails everyone.
