Cliff Lee just didn't have it tonight. His normal pinpoint just wasn't there as he walked batters and missed his spots. As a result the Nationals touched him up for 6 runs on 7 hits in just 5 and 1/3rd innings. Meanwhile, Jason Marquis held the Phils to just 2 runs on 8 hits in 6 and 1/3rd innings. The 2 runs came on back to back solo homers by John Mayberry Jr. and Dom Brown in the 5th inning and that was pretty much the only bright spot for the Phils on this night. Even the bullpen struggled a bit with Danys Baez and Mike Zagurski(called up to replace Vance Worley, at least for now) combining to allow 4 runs on 5 hits. In all it was really the Phils worst night of the season thus far, but with John Lannan, 0-10 against the Phils, going for the Nationals tomorrow, they should be able to shrug this off and get back on track with a win tomorrow.
