PHILADELPHIA — After a game on Thursday night that felt like a vintage Phillies loss, it was important for them to bounce back Friday against the Nationals. Their offense was able to cobble together 13 hits off of the Nationals’ pitching staff — many of those balls hit 95 mph or harder — and went 3 for 7 with runners in scoring position.
The offense provided just enough of a boost to get the Phillies a 5-3 win. Starter Noah Syndergaard gave his team some length but found trouble in the fifth and seventh innings, allowing three earned runs over those two frames. Syndergaard finished his night at six innings, allowing eight hits, three runs (all earned), no walks, and two strikeouts with one home run. The Phillies are now 76-62 on the season.
