Aníbal Sánchez balked in a run, which frustrated the 36-year-old, 15-year veteran, but it was the only run he gave up in five innings of work tonight in the series opener with Philadelphia in D.C., and the Washington Nationals beat the Phillies for the first time in seven games with their NL East rivals this season, 5-1 final.
Sánchez vs PHI: Aníbal Sánchez gave up nine hits, a walk, and four runs, three earned, in 3 1⁄3 IP when he faced the Phillies earlier this month in Citizens Bank Park.
