Recap · Aug 8
Joey Meneses takes Craig Kimbrel deep in ninth, Nationals split doubleheader with Phillies

Joey Meneses went deep once to tie the game, the second time to win it for the Nationals. That he hit the game-winner against All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel seemed implausible to the first baseman.

What it means

  • Season series: PHI wins series 3-1.
  • Nationals 28-30 on the road; Phillies 31-22 at home.
