The Nats were down 4-1 after six innings, but came back big in the last three innings to defeat the Phillies, 7-5. Starter Scott Olsen showed great stuff while Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman hit two key homers in the game.
Pitching;
Olsen was just very good in his return to the Nats. He pitched 5.2 innings while giving up four runs. The bullpen of Tyler Clifford, Sean Burnett and Matt Capps allowed only one run in 3.1 innings of work. Clifford picked up the win as Capps picked up his 4th save of the year.
Hitting:
The Nats scored seven runs on nine hits. Dunn, Ian Desmond and Ivan Rodriquez all had two hits apiece. The Nats big three run inning came in the eighth as they scored on Dunn solo shot and Zimmerman key two run pinch hit homer. But let’s not forget about Rodriquez key two run RBI single in the ninth because it was the difference in the game.
