WASHINGTON, D.C.: Just like the Washington Nationals’ brass drew it up. Hours after they traded both Daniel Murphy and Matt Adams, (to the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals, respectively), the Nats got a two-run home run from Andrew Stevenson (who was one of the two players called up to fill out the roster) and a solo shot from Wilmer Difo, (who’s going to play second now that Murphy is a Cub), as they rallied from a 4-1 deficit with a five-run sixth that gave them a 6-4 lead in what ended up a 10-4 win over the NL East’s second-place Philadelphia Phillies.
Washington Nationals outlast rain and Philadelphia Phillies, win 10-4 in series opener in D.C.
