The Nats got their first win of the year with a 8-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.I was so fortunate I was there last night! The starting pitching was great with Shairon Martis with his 6 1/3 innings of 2 run ball. The relievers of Mike Hinckley, Joe Biemel, and Joel Hanrahan shut down the Phillies the rest of the way.
The offense was lead by Nick Johnson with his three hits. Adam Dunn, Josh Willingham, Elijah Dukes, and Alberto Gonzalez each hit homered in the game. Dunn's shot was a moon shot.
