Attorney General\u2019s Office seeks to intervene in a murder case that Philly prosecutors helped overturn last month<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><p>On Wednesday, he got it started. But not with a home run. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>Kyle Schwarber emerged from the visitors\u2019 dugout in the ninth inning with the Phillies staring down a one-run deficit to the Nationals. He had been on the bench for the past two days with low back tightness that popped up minutes before Tuesday\u2019s game. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>With two outs, he represented the Phillies\u2019 last chance. And Schwarber battled for 10 straight pitches, working a walk from Orlando Ribalta to put the tying run aboard. <\/p><div><\/div><p>And then, Derek Hill worked some magic. The outfielder came off the bench as a pinch-hitter for Justin Crawford, and after fouling off two pitches, he launched a two-run shot to right field. It put the Phillies in front for the 5-4 win over Washington. <\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>In both at-bats, the Phillies were down to their last strike. <\/p><div><\/div><p>The Phillies once again fell behind early, after the Nationals built a 2-0 lead on solo home runs off Aaron Nola in the first and second innings. Washington stacked eight lefties \u2014 including two switch-hitters \u2014 in their lineup against him. But by the time the Phillies offense jumped ahead in the fourth, Nola appeared to find a rhythm.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>He got ahead in the count more often, throwing first-pitch strikes 62% of the time. Nola successfully shut down Nationals star James Wood in all three of his plate appearances against him, striking him out in the third inning with a knuckle curve. It was one of five total Nola recorded over five innings.<\/p><div><\/div><p>Lefty Carson Palmquist started the game for the Nationals, going 3\u2153 innings before passing the baton to righty Miles Mikolas for another 3\u2153 innings. The Phillies mustered just two singles against Palmquist, and both of them came courtesy of Brandon Marsh.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>Once Mikolas took over with Marsh standing on first, the Phillies started to make things happen. Alec Bohm fouled a ball off his foot and appeared to be in some pain, but remained in the game and reached on an error. Bryson Stott followed it up with a double to right field that scored a run.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>A sacrifice fly brought Bohm home, and Gabriel Rincones Jr. drove in a third run with an RBI single up the middle.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=1521\">Phillies\u2019 Kyle Schwarber out of the lineup for a second straight game: \u2018Just being a little cautious\u2019<\/a><\/p><div><\/div><p>As Curtis Mead entered the game as a pinch-hitter against Phillies lefty Kyle Backhus in the sixth, interim manager Don Mattingly already had his countermove ready. He took the ball from Backhus, and summoned Jonathan Bowlan from the bullpen. As a righty, Bowlan had the advantageous matchup on paper against right-handed hitting Mead.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>It immediately backfired. Bowlan served up a first-pitch sweeper to Mead, who blasted it over Marsh\u2019s head and into the left field seats.<\/p><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><p>But a similar countermove worked out for Mattingly in the ninth, when he used Hill as a pinch-hitter. Nationals manager had just brought in Richard Lovelady to face lefty Crawford, and Mattingly countered with Hill, a righty. <\/p><div><\/div><p>After Hill\u2019s go-ahead homer, Jhoan Duran struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth to earn the save. <\/p><div><\/div><div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"128\" height=\"128\" alt=\"The Inquirer logo\" class=\"wp-image-47\" src=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/faba80d67140212ba32240655442c529.png\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n        Watch the latest episode\n      <\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Father&#8217;s Day will hit a little differently this year for Don and Preston Mattingly.
