If someone had told you the Philadelphia Phillies had a 6-1 lead entering the seventh inning, your first inclination would be to ask how much they ended up winning by. Well, that wasn’t the case Tuesday night, as the Phillies lost 10-6 to the Washington Nationals in a game that featured a bullpen meltdown.
Aaron Nola started the game, hoping to rebound against his last start against the Nationals, when he allowed six earned runs in just three innings pitched.
Nola got off to a bit of a rough start, as Nationals leadoff hitter Adam Eaton hit a ball that bounced right off Bryce Harper’s glove in right field.
