W, (7-2) @Citizens Park
We started a key series with a big win. Strasburg had a great game and went 6 strong innings after being replaced by a leadoff walk in the seventh. He allowed just one run that came thanks to a home run to left by Mike Mathook. Bourque, Givens, and Treinen handled the remaining three innings. The offense was great thanks to a couple of clutch hits by Mr. Nat, Ryan Zimmerman. He came to the plate in the 4th with the game tied at 0, one out and the bases full and delivered a bases-clearing double. On the 8th he delivered a single with the bases loaded and two outs to give us an insurance run. Juan Soto went deep to opposite field to record his 28th homer of the year.

The second game of the series was exciting from the start. After an error by Starlin Castro, Anibal Sanchez, allowed two base-runners and a homer to put the Phillies in front. At the top of the third, Turner went deep with a runner on base. On the same inning, Suzuki brought home Castro with a double to tie the game. Sanchez recovered and had a good game, his final slash line was 6.0 IP/2H/2ER/5K. On the top of the 7th, Castro placed us in front thanks to an RBI single that brought Turner home. Nevertheless, on the bottom of the seventh Harper, who came as pinch hitter, tied it with a double. On the bottom of the ninth, the Phillies won it in a walk-off manner as Andrew McCutchen singled off Guerra with the bases loaded and two outs.

In the final game of the series, we suffered another cruel defeat. This time it was in extra-innings. Scherzer had a good outing by going seven strong and allowing 3 runs. Eric Thames had a two-run homer in the ninth to tie it but on the bottom of the eleventh Alec Bohm brought home the winning run with a triple.

The bats went silent when we needed them the most. Sandy Alcantara from the Marlins shut us down and we did not take advantage of a good performance from Kevin Gausman.

Corbin was amazing in six innings as he did not allow a single earned run. The bullpen struggled a bit but the offense came up and scored enough runs to secure the win of the second game of the series.

This loss probably will haunt us if we do not make the playoffs. A great pitchers duel as Strasburg went 8 innings without allowing a single run. On the top of the eighth Soto had a key homer and put us up by 2. In the bottom of the ninth Treinen was in charge of the save and he gave up 3 runs costing us the game.

We are 4 1/2 games behind the Phillies for the second spot of the National League Wild Card.
