Jason Vargas struggled in his final start of the 2019 season as the Philadelphia Phillies fell to the Washington Nationals, 6-1. The Phillies fall to 79-80 and have fallen below .500 for the first time all season.
The Nationals got things started early. After Trea Turner singled and Anthony Rendon walked, they moved to second and third on a double steal and Asdrubel Cabrera scored Turner with an sacrifice fly. They threatened to score more, but Adam Haseley robbed a would be three-run home run from Yan Gomes to keep the score at 1-0:
Michael Taylor led off the second inning with a home run to give the Nationals a 2-0 lead.
