PHILADELPHIA (Interstat) — The Washington Nationals snapped a three-game losing streak with a 10-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park, rallying behind a six-run 11th inning to complete a wild extra-inning affair.

Washington had dropped the first two games of the four-game series by a combined eight runs, but on Wednesday the Nationals jumped in front early and then finished with an emphatic burst. The game drew 37,025 fans and lasted 3 hours, 40 minutes.

CJ Abrams delivered the biggest blow of the night, finishing 3-for-5 with three RBIs. His triple in the 11th inning turned a tie game into a comfortable lead and sparked the Nationals’ highest-scoring inning of the game. Jake Irvin took the spotlight as Washington’s top starter, allowing two earned runs over 5.1 innings while scattering three hits and striking out three. He exited with the game tied, but his work kept the Nationals within reach after Philadelphia had taken an early edge.

The Nationals scored first. In the top of the first, Abrams was hit by a pitch and moved to third when Abimelec Ortiz singled to right. Keibert Ruiz followed with a sharp single to right that scored Abrams and put Washington ahead, 1-0. Andrew Painter, Philadelphia’s starter, worked out of further trouble, and the Phillies answered in the second.

Luis Arraez led off the bottom of the second with a home run to right field, his fifth of the season, tying the game. Alec Bohm singled, and after a force out, J.T. Realmuto singled to put runners at the corners. Bryson Stott walked to load the bases, and Justin Crawford’s sacrifice fly to center brought home Brandon Marsh with the go-ahead run. Kyle Schwarber struck out to end the inning with the Phillies holding a 2-1 lead.

Painter settled in after that, completing four innings with three hits and one earned run allowed while striking out four. He left with the lead, but Washington’s bullpen kept the game close. The Nationals tied it in the seventh. Andres Chaparro popped out, and Nasim Nunez struck out, but Brady House launched a home run to right-center field, his eighth of the season, to make it 2-2. Jacob Young followed with a double to right, and Abrams singled to left, scoring Young for a 3-2 Washington lead.

The Phillies responded in the bottom of the seventh. Bohm walked, Brandon Marsh singled, and after J.T. Realmuto struck out, Bryson Stott singled to center to score Bohm, tying the game at 3-3. Derek Hill flied out, and Schwarber was hit by a pitch to load the bases, but Trea Turner flied out to end the inning.

Both bullpens locked in from there. Washington relievers Tom Cosgrove and Orlando Ribalta each threw 1.1 scoreless innings, while Will Dion recorded two outs without allowing a hit. On the Philadelphia side, Orion Kerkering and Jose Alvarado each threw a scoreless inning. The game moved to the ninth tied at 3-3.

In the top of the ninth, the Nationals threatened. Young singled to right, and Abrams singled to pitcher Jhoan Duran, putting runners at first and second. But Ortiz grounded out to end the inning. The Phillies went quietly in the bottom of the ninth, sending the game to extras.

Under the extra-inning rules, each team began the 10th with a runner on second. Washington capitalized. Daylen Lile was hit by a pitch, and after a fly out, Andres Chaparro walked to load the bases. Nunez then walked, forcing in the automatic runner for a 4-3 lead. Brady House struck out to end the inning.

Philadelphia answered in the bottom of the 10th. With Derek Hill on second as the automatic runner, Schwarber struck out, but Turner delivered a sacrifice fly to right, scoring Hill and tying the game at 4-4. Bryce Harper walked, but he was caught stealing second to end the inning.

The 11th inning proved decisive. With the automatic runner on second, Young walked to open the frame. Abrams then tripled to right field, scoring the automatic runner and Young, giving Washington a 6-4 lead. The rally continued when Miles Mikolas laid down a sacrifice bunt that scored Abrams, making it 7-4. Dylan Crews walked, and after Lile struck out, Harry Ford walked to load the bases. Chaparro then doubled to left, driving in two more runs and pushing the lead to 9-4. Nunez grounded out, but it was enough to score Ford, extending the lead to 10-4. House grounded out to end the inning with the Nationals holding a six-run advantage.

Clayton Beeter, the winning pitcher, worked a scoreless 10th for Washington, allowing no hits and striking out one. His record improved to 4-3. Brad Lord also threw a scoreless inning in the 11th to close out the game. Caleb Kilian, the losing pitcher for Philadelphia, took the loss and fell to 3-7.

The Phillies had opportunities earlier but were hampered by two double plays and two sacrifice flies. Washington’s pitchers combined for 26 strikes and 76 balls, with 26 balls put in play. Philadelphia pitchers threw 11 strikes and 67 balls, with 11 balls in play.

Abrams’ performance stood above the rest, as his three hits included the pivotal triple that broke the game open. Ruiz also drove in a run, while House’s homer helped spark the comeback. Young scored twice and showed speed on the bases. For Philadelphia, Arraez homered and Stott drove in a run, but the Phillies could not overcome the Nationals’ late surge.

The win improved Washington’s record to 56-60, while Philadelphia fell to 61-54. The Nationals avoided a three-game sweep and will look to split the series Thursday night when the teams meet again at Citizens Bank Park. Washington then returns home for a weekend series against Cincinnati, while Philadelphia hosts Toronto.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Philadelphia 4, Washington 3, and the ELO system gave the Phillies a 64 percent probability to win. Philadelphia was installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of minus 1.5. The combined 14 runs went under the over/under line of 9.5.
