Every day the Phillies come to the ballpark believing they’re going to win. Over 44,000 people go to the ballpark also sharing the same belief. And however many watching at home. Even one-horse believes it.
Nationals starter Trevor Williams came in Sunday afternoon with a 1.92 ERA and 2.86 FIP in 41.2 innings pitched. Given his career, it was a hot streak, but the Phillies can put it to bed.
After his game-tying home run in the ninth last night, Kody Clemens got the start at second base. He scorched a double past Eddie Rosario in right field in the second inning, followed by a Nick Castellanos single to make it 1-0.
