Final Score: Nationals 6, Phillies 4
After taking an early two-run lead on Sunday, the Phillies found themselves down by two heading into the bottom of the sixth inning. Taijuan Walker allowed three runs on two home runs in his 4 2/3 innings of work that put the Nationals ahead by a run. Back-to-back two-out hits surrendered by Tanner Banks then gave Washington a two-run cushion.
The Phillies’ offense, tasked with facing right-hander Jake Irvin, went quiet after scoring their two early runs. After a Trea Turner home run began the bottom of the third, Irvin settled in, retiring 10 of the next 11 batters he faced.
