The Phillies finished June 18-8 and moved into wild-card contention following a 25-32 start.
Stone Garrett hit a two-run homer and Josiah Gray forced two pop-ups and struck out a batter that left the potential go-ahead run stranded in the pivotal sixth inning to lead the Washington Nationals to a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night.
In a bit of an ill-timed promotion, the Phillies then set off a small batch of fireworks to promote the bigger postgame spectacular. But they were stymied by Gray, who struck out eight and walked one over six innings to win his second straight start. Alec Bohm had an RBI single in the second — and was promptly picked off.
Sánchez continued a string of solid outings from Phillies starters. He struck out six, walked one and allowed one earned run in his six innings.Harper remained stuck on three home runs and hasn’t gone deep since May 25. Harper, who led the league with 42 homers with Washington in 2015, and hit at least 30 three other times, returned to the lineup in May, just 160 days after surgery on his right elbow.
