The Nats fail to hold a 4 run lead in the 8th yesterday against the Phillies. The Nats hit five homers last night, but it was not enough because the pitching allowed two grand slams in the 13-11 lost. Sharion Martis pitched 5 innings, but gave up 7 runs. Mike Hinkley, and Kips Wells did not allow a run in their short relief work. Julian Tavarez did not allow a run, but had a blown save for Martis. The major trouble was by Garret Mock and Joel Hanrahan who both fell apart in the 8th allowing six runs.
The offense was led by Ryan Zimmerman who had two homers and three RBI. Elijah Dukes, Nick Johnson and Adam Dunn also homered for the the Nats.
Yesterday's box score is the following:
