After dropping 2 of 3 to the Blue Jays, the Phils jumped on the train and went down to Washington and their brand new stadium to start a 3 game set with the Nationals. Brett Myers got the start tonight and actually pitched fairly well for once, allowing just 3 runs on 8 hits in 6 innings of work. Unfortunately for Myers, the Phils lineup continued to struggle and was silenced completely tonight, as Tim Redding, Saul Rivera, Luis Ayala, and Joel Hanrahan combined for a 7 hit shutout of the Phils. Now onto the game. In the top of the first Cristian Guzman scored on a sac fly by Dmitri Young for a 1-0 Nat's lead. In the bottom of the 3rd Lastings Milledge slapped a one out double for a 3-0 Nat's lead. In the bottom of the 7th, Guzman doubled and scored on a fielder's choice for a 4-0 Nat's lead. Sadly, that's how it ended as the Phils totally failed to muster any offense and fell 4-0. So the Phils drop to 24-22 overall, but hey they're still over .500 right.
