Nationals Snap Phillies Four-Game Win Streak With Ninth-Inning Rally

The Washington Nationals rallied to defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 with a dramatic ninth-inning comeback. Daylen Lile hit a tying single and later scored the go-ahead run on a throwing error by Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto. Nationals closer Jhoan Duran, who had been nearly unhittable since joining the Phillies, blew his first save opportunity after allowing two runs in the ninth. Riley Adams of the Nationals hit a three-run homer early in the game, while Phillies homers by Realmuto and Bryson Stott kept the game close until the late rally. Nationals starter Cade Cavalli pitched six solid innings, and P.J. Poulin earned his first career win by retiring all six batters he faced. The loss ended the Phillies' four-game winning streak and set up a pitching matchup between Washington's Mitchell Parker and Philadelphia's Aaron Nola for the next game.
