Sometimes you just need to lose a game.
Here's some news: Tonight, the Nationals became 18-4, equaling the best 22-game run in team history. Congratulations, Phillies, for being involved.Despite the demoralizing nature of the game, the Phillies still hung with the NL East's best, who were only able to get two runs against the worst team in the division starting a back-up long inning reliever who somehow stifled their mighty lineup.
In the second inning, the Phillies tried their trademark method of squeezing a run or two in amid a sea of outs.
