Final Score: Phillies 10, Nationals 1
The Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals entered Thursday heading in completely opposite directions. The Phillies had won 11 of their last 13 games, and the Nationals sat with the worst record in the National League at 23-42.
Given that — and the pitching matchup of Zack Wheeler vs. Patrick Corbin — Thursday had all the makings of a bloodbath.
That it was.
The Phillies got to Corbin for seven runs in the third inning, all of which came after a two-out, bases empty error by former Phillie César Hernández.
