Zimmerman hits slam in 9th; Nats beat Phillies 8-4 Sat Aug 20 00:49:00 2011 EST

WASHINGTON (AP) - Ryan Zimmerman hit a grand slam on a full count with two outs in the bottom of the ninth Friday night, capping a six-run inning and lifting the Washington Nationals to an improbable 8-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Nationals were trailing 4-2 and were facing Ryan Madson (3-2), but they sent eight men to the plate against the formidable closer. It was only fitting that Zimmerman had the last word, hitting the eighth game-ending home run of his career, as well

Phillies aren't guaranteed anything come the postseason Fri Aug 19 12:16:44 2011 EST
Toronto, Canada (Sports Network) - At the beginning of the season, the Philadelphia Phillies were as safe a bet as any to reach the World Series -- if not win it. After five months of play, the acquisition of All-Star outfielder Hunter Pence and a comfortable lead over the Atlanta Braves in the National League East, not much has changed. But as trendy a pick as the Phillies may be to reach the World Series for the third time in four years, nothing is guaranteed. The Phillies will most certainly

(Sports Network) - Even the absence of a couple of starters didn't slow down the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. They hope to get a little healthier tonight and continue their march towards a fifth straight division title in the opener of a three-game series with the hosting Washington Nationals. The chips seemed slightly stacked against the Phillies in their rubber match with the Diamondbacks yesterday. With third baseman Placido Polanco already on the disabled list due to a sports hernia a

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - John Mayberry smacked a two-run homer, and the Philadelphia Phillies became the first major league team this year to record 80 wins with a 4-1 triumph over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Chase Utley and Raul Ibanez each had a pair of hits and scored once for the NL East leaders, who moved to a season-high 39 games over .500 (80-42). It is their best mark since the end of the 1977 season when they finished 40 games over the break-even mark. Additionally, it marks t

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino had his three-game suspension reduced to two games, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. Victorino was the only player suspended in a benches-clearing incident against the Giants on August 5. The incident occurred after Ramon Ramirez hit Victorino with a pitch in the top of the sixth inning, with the Phillies leading 8-2. Victorino stepped toward the mound and Ramirez tossed his glove down, while catch
