PHILADELPHIA -- It has been months since so many different parts of the Nationals have all clicked at the same time, but suddenly, they're playing some of their best baseball of the season.
Washington's offense ambushed National League Cy Young Award contender Aaron Nola for three runs in the first inning, Stephen Strasburg turned in his best start since coming off the disabled list and the Nationals added a few tack-on runs throughout to beat the Phillies 5-1 on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park, completing a three-game sweep of their NL East rival.
