PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — À la former Vice President Mike Pence, Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles stole the show Monday night during the Phillies’ 7-5 comeback win in D.C.
A big, green praying mantis was seen atop Robles’ hat for at least an inning — certainly in the bottom of the eighth when the Nationals had a 3-2 lead over the Phils, and the top of the ninth during the Phillie five-run frame.
On Twitter, the Phillies dubbed him “Rally Mantis,” and others joined in the fun.
