The Philadelphia Phillies secured a dramatic win against the Washington Nationals, despite struggling with defensive errors that nearly cost them the game. Manager Rob Thomson called out the team's fielding issues, emphasizing the need for improvement. Trea Turner and Johan Rojas were at the center of Thomson's criticism after making crucial mistakes in the top of the ninth inning, allowing the Nationals to take the lead.

Rojas misjudged a line drive, giving up extra bases, while Turner's overthrow at first nearly let a runner reach safely. These lapses contributed to a three-run homer that put the Nationals ahead, but the Phillies rallied to win. Thomson's comments reflect a belief in his players' abilities to improve defensively, yet he stressed the urgency to 'clean things up' as the season progresses.
