The Phillies got going in the first against Nats starter Aníbal Sánchez. With one out, Jean Segura singled, Bryce Harper was intentionally walked and Rhys Hoskins singled Segura home to make it 1-0 Phillies. J.T. Realmuto laid down a bunt that Sanchez deftly fielded and threw him out at first, but Harper scored to make it 2-0. In the bottom of the first against Aaron Nola, Anthony Rendon hit his second homer of the series. After a Juan Soto double, Ryan Zimmerman golfed a two-run shot...

The Nationals officially placed Trea Turner on the 10-day injured list today, and though they are offering no firm timetable for his return the club is prepared to be without its starting shortstop for a significant stretch that figures to last at least a month. "We saw the X-ray, we put him on the injured list and we'll see how he progresses," general manager Mike Rizzo said. "And when the bone heals, we'll have him start baseball activities and then get him back as soon as we...

General manager Mike Rizzo went over the injury report prior to Wednesday's series finale against the Phillies but also touched on the problems the bullpen is having keeping opponents off the board late in games. In the Mets series, the Nationals bullpen allowed eight runs on 11 hits in the eighth inning alone. It has been only four games, but individual numbers have been somewhat brutal. Matt Grace's ERA is 20.25 in three games. Jeremy Hellickson allowed three hits last night, including...

They didn't necessarily expect a standing ovation. But they certainly didn't expect the loudest boos they've ever heard directed at one player since this ballpark...
