Scherzer dominates Phillies, Nats sweep double-header

Final: Nationals 1, Phillies 0

After a let-down performance to start off the day, the Philadelphia Phillies needed a pick-me-up to regain their confidence and give themselves a chance to win the series against the Washington Nationals in the second half of a day-night double-header. They didn’t get that.

Phillies starter Jake Arrieta did all he could to keep his team in it but in the end, the Phillies were shut out by Max Scherzer and the gory bruise under his eye. The 2-0 loss was their third straight and 10th overall in the month of June.
