Edmundo Sosa had a game-tying two-run single in the ninth inning and Justin Crawford provided a game-ending single in the 10th as the Philadelphia Phillies rallied for a 6-5 victory over the visiting Washington Nationals on Wednesday afternoon.Playing in just his fifth major league game, Crawford slammed the first pitch he saw from Cole Henry (0-1) past a drawn-in infield for the victory to send his teammates storming out of the dugout.
Philadelphia trailed 5-1 through seven innings but rallied to win back-to-back games for the first time this season.CJ Abrams hit a three-run homer for Washington, while Joey Wiemer continued his hot start to the season with two hits, a walk and two runs scored. The Nationals were stymied by late defensive heroics from Sosa.With Philadelphia trailing 5-3 in the ninth, Trea Turner singled with one out against Clayton Beeter. Kyle Schwarber followed with a walk against PJ Poulin. After Poulin walked Alec Bohm to load the bases with two outs, Henry came on and allowed Sosa's two-out, game-tying pinch-hit single to left.Sosa stepped up at second base in the top of the 10th inning by making a leaping grab of Abrams' liner before he doubled off the runner off second base to end the inning. That sequence and the ensuing rally made a winner of Jhoan Duran (1-1), who pitched a scoreless 10th.The Phillies jumped on Cade Cavalli for a first-inning run on Schwarber's RBI double, but Washington tied it in the top of the second against Cristopher Sanchez.Drew Millas' RBI single against Jonathan Bowlan in the sixth gave Washington a 2-1 lead.The Nationals scored three more runs off Brad Keller in the seventh as Daylen Lile and Wiemer singled in front of Abrams, who sent a 1-1 pitch over the wall in right-center for a 5-1 lead.Solo homers by J.T. Realmuto in the seventh and Bryce Harper in the eighth brought Philadelphia within 5-3.Sanchez allowed one run, four hits and four walks with seven strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings. Cavalli yielded one run and five hits in six innings.--Field Level Media
