| A career high 7 walks for Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez, but the Nats give him more than enough support as the Phillies trail throughout. A 4-run 3rd inning is the backbreaker, highlighted by a 2-run through-the-drawn-in-infield single for Bryce Harper and a 2-run homerun later in the inning for Ian Desmond. It all knocks Kyle Kendrick down to a dismal 1-4, 7.24 ERA. Three of the top five pitchers in National League ERA will pitch in this series with Gonzalez today (now 5th with a 1.90), Roy Halladay for the Phils next game (4th at 1.75) and then the Phillies' Cole Hamels the game after that (leads the league at 1.35). The other two in ERA are Stephen Strasburg of the Nats (2nd at 1.65) and Johnny Cuerto of the Reds (3rd at 1.73). |
