Despite sending Daniel Murphy to the Chicago Cubs and Matt Adams to the St. Louis Cardinals, the Nationals had plenty of offense in a 10-4 win over the Phillies in a game that began on Tuesday and ended early Wednesday morning at Nationals Park.
The Phillies have now lost three in a row and dropped two games behind first place Atlanta in the National League East after the Braves scored a 6-1 win over Pittsburgh. Washington remained 7.5 games out.
A one hour and 42-minute rain delay came before the bottom of the third inning and when the game resumed, Phillies starter Vince Velasquez returned to the mound, but Roark was replaced by lefthander Matt Grace.
