The Nationals took two of three from the National League champions. Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto homered for the Phillies.
Stone Garrett hit a grand slam, Jeimer Candelario added a solo shot and reliever Kyle Finnegan pitched out of late-inning jams that helped the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Sunday.
Castellanos did it again Sunday when he hit his 12th homer of the year, connecting off Trevor Williams into the right-field seats for the 1-0 lead in the first. Bryce Harper singled and J.T. Realmuto then crushed a two-run shot that made it 3-0.Phillies starter Ranger Suarez had loaded the bases on a hit and two walks in the third when Garrett drove the first pitch he saw into the seats for his second career grand slam.
The Phillies have mixed games with big offensive outbursts with ones in which they continuously fail to get clutch hits late in the game with runners in scoring position. Case in point: the sixth, seventh and eight innings against three Nationals relievers. Finnegan was still on the mound in the eighth when he had two on and one out and got Marsh to hit into a 4-6-3 double play.The Phillies recalled 1B Hall from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and he batted eighth. They sent infielder Kody Clemens to Triple-A.
