Tuesday night saw the Philadelphia Phillies (67-58) defeat the Washington Nationals (44-82) in what would turn out to be an important win for Philadelphia. Phillies SP Joe Blanton gave 4 runs in 5 innings and it looked like the Phils were going to lose the game to the lowly Nationals as they were down 4-1 when Blanton went out of the game.

But as soon as he left, the Phillies offense kicked into gear, scoring twice in the 5th inning, once in the 7th, and one more run again in the 8th to beat Washington 5-4. Phillies outfielder Jayson Werth hit the tiebreaking homerun in the 8th to give Philadelphia the lead. The Phillies are a major league best 56-0 when they are up going into the 9th inning. The loss was Washington’s 11th straight, their longest since moving to Washington.

Ryan Madson (3-1) was given the win, with Steven Shell (0-1) taking the loss. Brad Lidge closed out the game to earn his 31st save in 31 opportunities.

The Milwaukee Brewers (67-51) won an important game vs. the Washington Nationals (44-77) on Sunday to improve and remain ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Wild Card race. The winning homerun was hit by Gabe Kapler, who prior to the HR was 0-6 with two strikeouts. This was Kapler’s first career walk off homerun, and it gave Milwaukee its fifth straight win. The homerun was hit off of Washington reliever Luis Ayala, who is not having a good season to put it mildly. He is 1-8 with a 6.04 ERA and 53.2 innings pitched. Kapler, who was starting for the injured Ryan Braun, hit the ball off of the foul pole to give his team the 5-4 win in 13 innings. “At first I thought it was going to stay fair for sure, then I saw it had kind of had a little lean to it,” Kapler said. “I wasn’t positive whether it would stay fair. I’m glad it did.”

Guillermo Mota (3-5) was given the win, with Luis Ayala (1-8) taking the loss.
