It looked like the Philadelphia Phillies were going to drop a game to their divisional foe Washington Nationals on Saturday as they just couldn't get anything going at the plate against the opposing ace who had elite stuff. The Phillies trailed after the first inning before tying things up in the fourth. Then, the next frame, they trailed once again before Bryson Stott's solo blast in the seventh leveled it at two and knocked MacKenzie Gore out of the game. With two mini comebacks already under their belt on Saturday, it seemed like a third would be insurmountable in the top of the ninth inning after the Nationals got a run across to break up the stalemate.
