Philadelphia Phillies infielder, Freddy Galvis, hits a two-run home run off of Washington Nationals relief pitcher Blake Treinen in the bottom of the ninth inning bringing the Philliles to within only one run of the Nationals. Unfortunately, the Phillies could not muster another run and lost their home opener to the Washington Nationals 7-6.
Washington Nationals defeat Philadelphia Phillies 7-6 in Phillies home opener.
These 10 selected images from the Philadelphia Phillies home opener won by the Washington Nationals 7-6. The Nationals jumped off to an early 7-0 lead on the strength of strong pitching by Max Scherzer, last year’s National League Cy Young winner and power hitting by Bryce Harper, Daniel Murphy, and Jason Werth, each of whom hit home runs. The Phillies fought valiantly, and in the 9th inning came within one run of tying the game, based on a two run home run by Freddy Galvis.
Philadelphia Phillies first baseman, Rhys Hoskins hits his first grand slam home run off of Atlanta’s relief pitcher Luke Jackson. The Philliles went on to win 10-4.
The new and improved Phillies began the Bryce Harper era with three big home runs and a 10-4 opening day victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.
The sellout crowd of 44,469 was electric and it had a lot to cheer about, starting with a leadoff home run by newcomer Andrew McCutchen in the first inning and ending with a grand slam by Rhys Hoskins in the seventh. In between, Maikel Franco belted a three-run homer and Odubel Herrera and Cesar Hernandez had two-out RBI hits in the fourth.
There were first-inning fireworks at Citizens Bank Park, even though the storybook scenario of Bryce Harper doing damage in his first plate appearance didn’t come to fruition.
New Phillie Andrew McCutchen, leading off, hit a solo home run on a 2-0 count that caused a roar not heard at Citizens Bank Park in years. It provided Aaron Nola his first run of support of the season following Nola’s 1-2-3 top of the first.
It was McCutchen’s 13th career leadoff home run. Last season, he hit .350 with four homers and two doubles as the first batter of the game.
Harper went hitless in his first game with the Phils, but was on base for Hoskins’ grand slam after drawing an intentional walk. Unfortunately, HARPER went 0-3 on the game with that walk.
Phillies Ace, AARON NOLA, pitched a great game, allowing only one run, and two hits, with 8 strike outs over 6 innings. The two hitting stars of the game were MAIKEL FRANCO, who hit a three-run home run in the 6th inning; and RHYS HOSKINS, who hit his first grand slam home run of his career in the 7th inning.
The Phillies are off to a great start and a team that will likely make the playoffs.
Check out all of the other images from today’s Philadelphia Phillies home opener against the Atlanta Braves won by the Phillies 10-4.
The two images of BRYCE HARPER were pretty special, who was welcomed by Phillies’ manager, GABE KAPLER, by the team, and by the fans. Unfortunately, HARPER went 0-3 with a walk.
Philadelphia Phillies Manager, RYNE SANDBERG, and Boston Red Sox Manager, JOHN FARRELL, shake hands prior to the Phillies Home Opener at Citizens Bank Park. The Red Sox went on to defeat the Phillies 8-0.
Philadelphia Phillies Brad Lidge celebrates World Series Victory. The National League champions Philadelphia Phillies and the American League champions Tampa Bay Rays competed to win four games out of a possible seven. The 2008 World Series is notable because it is the only Fall Classic to involve a mid-game suspension and resumption (two days later). This was the Phillies’ first World Series appearance in fifteen years.
