It was a bad night for the Washington Nationals before Jeremy Guthrie struggled in his return to the majors, giving up six hits, four walks and 10 earned runs on 47 pitches in just 2⁄3 of an inning in Citizens Bank Park.
Even before the Nationals fell behind 12-0 in the bottom of the first, they had an injury scare with Trea Turner leaving the game after singling, stealing second and taking third on a Daniel Murphy single.
Turner seemed to linger before standing up at second after his third stolen base of the season, and he came to an abrupt stop around third on Murphy’s hit before consulting with third base coach Bob Henley briefly and leaving the game.
