Phillies Shut Down Nationals

At least for the time being, this is starting to get a bit interesting, folks. The Phillies shut down the NL East-leading Washington Nationals by a score of 3-0 last night at Nationals Park. With the win, the Phils have won the series, and will go for a sweep in this afternoon’s finale.

The victory also pushed the Phillies above the .500 mark to a winning record at 11-10, the latest in a season that they club has been above that break-even mark since May 4th, 2014.

As the score would indicate, this one was all about the pitching.
