Phillies Hold Off Nationals, 5-4

Game 20, Phillies at Nationals

Was it just a tease?

The Nats lost for the sixth time in eight games as the Phillies jumped out to 5-1 lead and held on to win by one. The Nats fell to 10-10, and their 8-4 first place start seems to be a thing of the past.

Despite three hits each from Jose Vidro and Brad Wilkerson, the Nats couldn't string together the BIG innings they way they had just a week ago. The Nationals tried to rally in the late innings, and had men on base against Phils' closer Billy Wagner in the ninth, but couldn't come through with the big hit.

Starter Zach Day struggled with his control, walking five and allowing five runs in five innings.
