PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Daylen Lile hit a tying single in the ninth inning and dashed home with the go-ahead run on a throwing error by catcher J.T. Realmuto as the Washington Nationals rallied past the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Friday night.
The Nationals scored twice in the ninth off Phillies closer Jhoan Duran (6-5), who had not allowed a runner to reach second base in seven previous appearances since being acquired from Minnesota on July 30.
Lile singled home Dylan Crews, who doubled off Duran with one out, to tie it at 4. Lile went to second on the throw to the plate, then stole third and scored when Realmuto's throw sailed into left field.
P.J. Poulin (1-1) retired all six batters he faced to earn his first career win.
