Perfect at the End
The Washington Nationals defeated the Phillies 9-8 in twelve innings to move into a tie with Atlanta for third place in the NL East. Robert Fick, pinch hitting in the twelfth delivered the game winning single. He came into the plate appearance 2 for 13.
After their relievers blew a 7-3, however, Bray and Cordero took over. The rookie pitched three perfect innings, striking out three batters and throwing just 31 pitches, 24 for strikes. It's been an impressive week for Bill Bray, posting a 0.00 ERA and a .063 batting average allowed. Cordero took over in the 11th and was equally effective, retiring all six batters he faced, striking out two. Although Cordero was award the W, the two should get half a win each.
