The Phils finished their series with the Nationals tonight, looking to complete their second series sweep in a row. Brett Myers got the start and was decent allowing just 3 runs on 8 hits in 6 innings of work. As well as the Phils lineup has performed lately, you would think that would have been enough for the win, especially against the Nationals, but it was not. You just can't win everyday, even against the Nationals. "The Flyin Hawaiian", Shane Victorino actually slugged a solo homer in the bottom of the 1st for the early 1-0 lead. From there though, it was all Nats. In the top of the 3rd Ryan Zimmerman worked a bases loaded walk to knot it up at 1. In the top of the 6th Elijah Dukes singled in a run and scored on a single by Anderson Hernandez for a 3-1 lead. In the top of the 8th Hernandez doubled in another run for a 4-1 lead. Finally in the bottom of the 9th, the Phils for once did not have an answer and succumbed 4-1. So the Phils drop to 11-9 overall but remain 2nd in the NL East now 1.5 games behind Florida.

Well I really wasnt expecting the Phils to lose to the Nationals but hey a winning streak has to end sometime and they're looking a lot prettier than they were just not too long ago.
