Nationals vs. Phillies Game Highlights (8/17/24) | MLB Highlights

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, I am honored to be on this Dais as we forever cement the legacy of David Montgomery into Phillies history. The first needed Philadelphian to run the ball club in over 60 years since the first of July Christopher is two and five with a 6.63. Er, a. In fact, he and Mackenzie Gore, the starter for the Nationals. Neither one has really pitched all that well, swung on and hit , well, to laugh on the run is wilson towards the line. He's going to get there, he makes the catch and there's one gone brings up CJ. Abrams who's seen this left hander, well, chases a fastball , well, in off the plate. Phillies believe that that did not hit CJ in the batter's box. They throw down the first and CJ S called out, he's claiming that ball hit him. So this is what Davey's going to come out and see if they can have a little rules check, but it hit his foot, it looked like , clearly hit his cleat and if they didn't see it on the field , it is not a reviewable play and that to me is awful fly ball right field, not deep over toward the line. Castellanos has room and the inning is over 123 go the Nationals. Kensey Gore 25 years of age last start, four innings, five runs all unearned ground ball back toward the middle. Diving stop by Garcia. No play that will go down as an infield hit. Bring up Trey Turner two balls. No strikes short lead for Schwarber at first. The pitch turner out to right center Alex after it into a dive and he makes the play, Alex call flat out Robs Trey Turner but a nice grab and here is Harper Yez picks it off at first. He'll glide to the bag and a line drive double play gets Mackenzie Gore out of the first. Well, just react and kyle Schwarber got in the act right there watching for David Montgomery. He was a classy human being. It would be tough to find a better person. Fly ball left field, he's under it and he makes the catch. He goes after the first pitch. It's a two hopper to third backhand ball throw across two away to Hopper to Trey Turner's left for sanchez six up, six down to begin his night. Brings up Nick Castanos again in the number five spot batting order. Gore kicks the left hander delivers breaking ball. Luke to left center field coming on his wood into a dive and he makes the catch diving straight toward the infield and Wood able to stick the landing and hold on to it. Good play by James Wood and now Gore delivers and the pitch is right in there. A fastball caught him looking one right over the middle of the plate just above the knees headed to the top of the third inning, bottom third of the order coming up for the Nationals swinging the ground ball back up the middle. But Sosa there on a shift, he'll make the play and go off balance in time to first the one pitch and a ground ball past the mound deflected by sanchez. Turner's got it off balance throw and it's in time. Bang bang play at first base 163 to put out nicely done by Turner and a swing of the ground ball hit to short and Turner charging in. He's got it in time 23, that's nine up nine down for the lefty and we go to the bottom of the third. It's still bring Johan Rojas to the plate. Rojas batting 244 on the swinging a foul tip held by. Adam struck him out on a fastball way up and out of the zone. Here comes the pitch swinging a line drive right side right at the second baseman Garcia inning over so go works around a leadoff hit and strands a runner at second base and alex has been held in check in the series one for been swinging a hot bat, a fly ball right field, well hit and Casto is back to the warning track near the wall looking up and there it goes. Alex call hits an opposite field home run to right field, gives them their first lead of the series home. Number two, this season for Alex call Christopher sanchez is perfect no more and Then have a one nothing lead here in the fourth and Turner is aboard that will bring up Bryce Harper. The one to Harper, a ground ball right side could be two Garcia shovels to Abrams for one and on at first for a double play gore ready in the left hander deals and the pitch is low ball four and ALEC ball extends his on base streak with a two out walk here in the fourth inning. That's now 34 consecutive games in which has reached safely. So here's Castanos who lined out to shallow left his first time up, the pitch swung on, lined into right center field towards the alley. That one is going to fall for a hit bumps coming around third. He's going to score standing up as Nick Castanos has tied the game with a double to right center. It's 11 here in the bottom of the fourth. Here's the pitch strike three called fastball over the inside corner. So he has caught Real Muto looking twice but pays for the two hour walk. One of two walks in the inning bounced to short his only time up four out of 15. Now in his fifth game, that's a w and a miss, there's the first strikeout of the night and one away. Sanchez starts his win opposite way caught by innings over 123 go the nationals middle of the fifth. It's a 1 to 1 game. Nats in the, and there's one away. So now here is Rojas who struck out swinging his first time up, half swing. Did he go? They'll appeal. He's out on the check swing. Rojas strikes out on a slider in the dirt. That's a break. The pitch on three and two swing and a miss, he struck him out with a diving slider Schwarber out swinging. Gore has his fifth strikeout and strands the runner at second base. Sanchez has retired 17 of the 18 batters face. The only exception comes up now , Alex Cole with the fourth inning homer Bry in a row. We've played 5.5. We go to the bottom of the sixth Trey Turner starts it for the Phillies here in the bottom of the sixth, the 1 to 1 game and the pitch breaking ball line deep down the left field line to the corner that is a fair ball that will land on the edge of the track to the base of the wall and Turner will go to second with a double down two balls, two strikes to a ball runner at 2nd 11 game bottom of the sixth inning to the right side. Can it leak through? He's going to score RB I single for, it's a 21 game. Here's Castanos with ball aboard at first base pitch. Nick swings and lines it to left. That's a base hit and will stop at second. Nick with his second hit of the night. Phillies have taken their first lead of the night 2 to 1 and trying to tack on a little bit more here, Jt Roo swung on line to center that's falling. It will be a base hit and so ball will score standing up and JT Roto with an RB I single and the Phillies lead 3 to 1 in the third goes Castanos and here comes Edmundo Sosa as Gore delivers the pitch hit to right. That's in for a base hit. Keep the line moving in to score. Said Mundo Sosa makes it a 4 to 1. Phillies lead with the fifth hit of the inning. Gore was very good for the first five hung in there but the Phillies hit him around here in the sixth inning and knock him out. Johan Rojas batting with two aboard. Two outs. 3 to 2 pitch runners go. The pitch is lined to center. It's a base hit in to score. Wilson gets in on the party that will make it 5 to 1. Phillies 65 pitches with one out in the seventh. That is a heck of a good swing and a miss, he got him with the slider second strikeout and he got him back to back 123 stellar seven innings at first goes Andres one away in the top of the eighth inning line drive one hopper. So has got it. He'll run to the bag a 43 double play. That is a thing of beauty to gone. Here comes Weston wilson, another multi hit night for Weston wilson, another 22 roller to Vargas. Yet again going to play with the bare hand, I can do it all. Christopher sanchez is going to go to work here in the ninth try to finish off a complete game. It would be his second one of the season and what an effort he has put together tonight. A called strike three even though the ball popped out of the glove of JT one out here in the ninth inning, 1 to 2 pitch bouncing ball back toward the middle. Big nice hot for Trey Turner. Two outs, one more out to go. Alex Cole is the batter. The 1 to 2 pitch from sanchez. Swing it a line drive one hopper out to short. Turner's got it throws to first to tie and the game is still alive. Cole at the last moment went low and a capacity crowd enjoying an amazing by a young left handed pitcher who has one complete game already out to left field. This should do it. Wilson comes in, he's under it makes the catch and Christopher Sanchez with his second complete game of the year. Absolutely spectacular for Christopher Sanchez tonight.
