With losses in two of three on the road in Citizens Bank Park, the Washington Nationals fell to 14-19 on the season, and 7-8 away from D.C., three games into a 10-game, three-city trip which takes them from Philadelphia to Milwaukee and then Los Angeles this week.
After a stirring comeback on Saturday night, the Nationals fell behind 2-0 early in the series finale, with errors by both Carter Kieboom and Jake Noll in the first inning leading to a two-run deficit, and though Kurt Suzuki homered for the third time in three games to make it a one-run game after four, a five-run sixth for the Phillies gave the home team a decisive win in the series.
