Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer won the 250th game of his long Major League career on Sunday afternoon.
Philadelphia defeated Washington 4-2, with Moyer pitching six innings of one-run ball.
Moyer is just the eleventh left-hander to accomplish the feat.
He threw 102 pitches, allowing three hits and striking out four batters. Moyer is 4-5 on the season, and has 23 years of Major League experience.

Phillies starting pitcher Brett Myers will have hip surgery soon, and will miss at least three months of action.
He considered pitching through the pain this season, but the procedure will prevent further injury.
"This is the best option for me," Myers told The Inquirer. "If you [pitch through the injury], the chances of hurting your arm are greater. Ultimately, I could hurt my arm and need two surgeries."
Myers admitted that a return later this season is a "longshot," and he could be done with the Phillies as he will be a free agent this winter.

Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said earlier this week that the team is open to tweaking their roster via trades.
"We will not have unlimited spending - that's not how we operate, and I don't think we need it," Amaro said. "[But] the fact of the matter is, every year around trade-deadline time, it's been a rare moment that we have not been allowed to do what we felt is necessary to make our team better. How much flexibility, I could not tell you, but I do know that if we can improve the team, we think we will have a chance to do that."
Amaro is expected to search for right-handed hitting and pitching.
