Andrew Painter fans 8 in MLB debut as Phillies edge Nationals

On Tuesday, Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter earned a win in his MLB debut, striking out eight batters in a 3-2 victory over the Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park.
The 22-year-old Painter finally made his debut after missing two seasons due to Tommy John surgery, living up to expectations as the most promising Phillies pitching prospect since Cole Hamels 20 years ago.
Dominating the mound, Painter threw 84 pitches with 68% for strikes, allowing one run and four hits over 5 innings; Kyle Schwarber and Adolis Garcia supported with solo home runs.
Philadelphia entered with a 1-3 record and an MLB-worst minus-15 run differential; Jhoan Duran earned a save with a scoreless ninth inning while Brandon Marsh made a game-ending catch.
As the series concludes Wednesday, Philadelphia left-hander Cristopher Sanchez faces Nationals right-hander Cade Cavalli, with Sanchez joining a rotation including Andrew Painter, Zack Wheeler, Jesus Luzardo, and Aaron Nola.
