Justin Crawford and Edmundo Sosa lead Phillies past Nationals in 10 innings
PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Rookie Justin Crawford had an RBI single in the 10th
inning after the Philadelphia Phillies rallied from a four-run deficit for a
6-5 victory over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday.
The Nationals led 5-1 in the seventh. J.T. Realmuto and Bryce Harper hit solo
home runs to get the Phillies within 5-3. Edmundo Sosa hit a two-run single
with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth to tie the game.
With runners on the corners in the bottom of the 10th, Crawford singled to
right off Cole Henry (0-1). It was the third hit for Crawford, a first-round
amateur draft pick in 2022 who made his major league debut on opening day.
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).
Washington starter Cade Cavalli went six innings, allowing one run, five hits
and two walks and striking out three.
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.
Cristopher Snchez pitched 5 1/3 innings for the Phillies, allowing one run,
four hits and four walks and striking out seven.
The Phillies took a lead in the first inning when Trea Turner scored on Kyle
Schwarber's double.
The Nationals scored in the second on an infield single and two walks. With the
bases loaded, Snchez 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.
The homers were the first of the season for Realmuto and Harper.
Up next
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.
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.
