Eight two-out runs in the ninth turned an 8-6 deficit into a 14-9 Phillies win after Philadelphia had opened the inning with two strikeouts.
Trea Turner’s two-strike single kept the game alive, Brandon Marsh tied it with a two-run homer, and Bryson Stott’s three-run shot put Philadelphia ahead 11-8.
The Nationals then allowed 10 straight batters to reach base—eight by hits—as Edmundo Sosa drove in two more and Turner added an RBI single in his second at-bat of the inning.
The outburst was Philadelphia’s highest-scoring ninth inning since Sept. 27, 2015, when the Phillies also scored eight runs against Washington.
The comeback lifted the Phillies to 43-36, six games behind the NL East-leading Braves, while the Nationals fell to 41-39 and sit 2.5 games back of Philadelphia.
