Tanner Roark gave up two long balls and an RBI single in six innings of work, but the Washington Nationals rallied from a 3-1 deficit to take the series opener in D.C. with the Philadelphia Phillies by a final score of 4-3.
Trea Turner came up with the big hit, connecting for a bases-loaded, two-run single as part of a three-run seventh as the Nats took the lead for good.
Michael A. Taylor made another leaping catch at the wall, pulling a potential home run ball down in the top of the seventh.
Victor Robles made his MLB debut in the bottom of the seventh inning, lining out to right.
