In a notable MLB game, the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Washington Nationals with a final score of 5-2. Key moments included J.T. Realmuto hitting a three-run homer following an intentional walk to Bryce Harper. This strategic decision came after Harper was walked with two outs and first base open, leading to Realmuto's decisive hit off Jake Irvin's 0-2 curveball. The Phillies' victory was also supported by Aaron Nola's impressive pitching, delivering 5 2/3 scoreless innings and allowing only two hits. Bryce Harper contributed significantly with a double, two singles, and an RBI. Joey Gallo also made headlines by hitting his 200th career home run, a two-run shot that contributed to the Nationals' defeat. This game marked an early season highlight for the Phillies, who have now won two straight games and reached a .500 record earlier than the previous year.
