SS Ian Desmond has a memorable major league debut as he homers and drives in 4 runs in Washington’s 8 – 7 victory over Philadelphia. The Nats lead 8 – 2 coming into the 9th, but a pinch grand slam by Matt Stairs and a run-scoring double by Shane Victorino bring the Phils within one. Ron Villone ends the comeback attempt by inducing Ryan Howard to ground into a game-ending double play.
