- Share via
PHILADELPHIA — Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez each hit a grand slam, rallying the Philadelphia Phillies to a wild 13-11 victory over the Washington Nationals on Monday night for their fifth straight win.
Howard’s shot to center in the fifth inning tied the score, 6-6. After the Nationals scored four times in the eighth to go up 11-7, Ibanez capped a six-run surge in the bottom half with a two-out drive to right off Joel Hanrahan (0-1).
With closer Brad Lidge nursing a sore knee, Ryan Madson got three outs for his first save this season. Lidge is day-to-day with inflammation in his right knee, the Phillies said.
Ryan Zimmerman hit two of Washington’s five homers. Nick Johnson and Adam Dunn each had a two-run shot in the eighth.
