Gamethread 6/6: Nationals at Phillies

The Phillies will go for the series win against the Nationals today. Yesterday as we know, they needed a big day from their bullpen and they got it, getting seven excellent innings from the relievers to lock down a win that they needed. The offense gave some big hits in clutch situations, ultimately helping defeat the Nationals.

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies:

They’ll send Vince Velasquez to the hill to try and get a more 2021 VV start as compared to the kind of starts he’s given the team in the past. He’s been good this year, but they’ll need good with a few innings as well.

For the Nationals:

Contain Soto and this should be a win.

Let’s talk about it.
