WASHINGTON — Almost 30 minutes after one of the greatest ninth-inning rallies in Philadelphia Phillies history, there was no time to bask in it. Several of the veteran Phillies players wanted to catch the first bus back to their hotel. It’s a marathon, so what is one game? Trea Turner was conscientious enough to wait for his double-play partner, Bryson Stott, who had authored one of the finest games of his career.But as Stott answered several questions from a pack of reporters, Turner lost patience.“Tell them about your belly button!” Turner yelled from down the hallway. “Show them your belly button. Show them!”All they could do after this was laugh because it was absurd. It was Phillies 14, Washington Nationals 9, and it took everything — even Stott’s stomaching a 90 mph slider to the belly button in the eighth inning, then clobbering a game-winning, three-run homer in a ninth inning that defied the laws of baseball nature. The Phillies scored eight runs with two outs. They sent 13 men to the plate in a 25-minute half inning that required 51 pitches by Washington.“This game’s crazy when you see stuff like that,” Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said.“I didn’t even know we were down to our last strike,” Stott said. “So, that was a crazy game.”The Phillies were just the sixth team since 1920 to score eight or more runs with two outs in the ninth inning while trailing. No team had done it in 38 years. The last National League team to do it was the 1928 Boston Braves.“They never gave up. But neither did we,” said Edmundo Sosa, who learned he would play Tuesday night less than 10 minutes before first pitch, then collected five RBIs. “We’re the Phillies, so we’re not going to back out of a fight either.”This whole thing, ever since April, has been a fight. The Phillies have not made it easy, and Tuesday epitomized everything. They were without Kyle Schwarber, who was removed from the lineup with back soreness minutes before the game started but reported improvement later in the night. They could not field balls they should have fielded. They did not hit an opposing pitcher they should have hit. They took the lead in the eighth, somehow, then surrendered it immediately.
