"Wiemer legged out an infield single in the first inning and had a base hit up the middle in the fourth, tying a record by reaching base 10 consecutive times to start the season, set by Toronto's Carlos Delgado in 2002."
"That's what makes me, me. Regardless of the score, situation, I'm going to play hard."
"Wiemer's first hit was originally called out by first base umpire Marvin Hudson, but was overturned after a challenge by the Nationals."
"Phillies manager Rob Thomson was ejected by Hudson after the video review for arguing that the play should have still ended the inning."
