Fresh off a series loss to the New York Yankees, the Washington Nationals returned home to host the Philadelphia Phillies. And they dropped that series as well. Just like the series in the Bronx, the Nationals were in position to take two of three games (if not all three in NY). Instead, instead they were lucky to salvage the final game of the set before hitting the road for Arizona.
