Andrew Knapp doubles (3) on a line drive to center fielder Bryce Harper.
Back in the day, probably didn't swing 3-0 when down by seven runs. Of course, probably doesn't matter anyway.

Letting Pivetta pitch in the second not only lead to 3 more runs for the Nationals, but by his not getting thorough the inning even giving up 3 runs, it puts the Phillies in the position of almost having to let Rios bat with RISP in the bottom of the second. Seems like nothing going right for the Phillies tonight, but I guess in reality it is having Pivetta pitching like a batting practice pitcher tonight. Pivetta ERA at 4.71 after starting at 4.06 tonight.

Ironically, in their desperation to find a good lefty or high-leverage reliever, they're without a long man/mop-up option.
