He didnt miss it. Desmond hit a grand slam in the 11th inning and the Washington Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 Wednesday night, avoiding a three-game sweep. Jayson Werths RBI single with two outs in the ninth tied it off Jonathan Papelbon, who blew a save for the second time in three nights after starting the season 13 for 13. Starters Kyle Kendrick and Gio Gonzalez both were outstanding, but wound up with no-decisions. Kendrick allowed one run and two hits, striking out six in 7 2-3 innings. Gonzalez gave up two runs and two hits, tying a career-high with 11 strikeouts in seven innings. He didnt allow a hit after the second batter.

Desmond took a 1-2 pitch that had manager Charlie Manuel screaming at plate umpire Alfonso Marquez from the dugout. "It looked like it couldve been a strike," Manuel said. Desmond drove the next pitch out to left-centre. "I was adjusting all night," Desmond said. "I had too many long swings. I just wanted to see the white ball and put the barrel on it." Drew Storen (2-1) pitched a scoreless 10th to earn the win. "We needed to show the Phillies were still hanging around," Nats manager Davey Johnson said. Papelbon was a strike away from securing a save Monday night before allowing a tying homer to Chad Tracy. The Phillies won it in the bottom half on Domonic Browns RBI single with two outs. Denard Span reached on an infield to start the Washington ninth. He went to second when LaRoche walked with two outs. Werth followed with a single to left to score Span.

I still got too make the pitch to Werth.dddddddddddd" Michael Young hit a two-run homer to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the first.
