[LoneStarPhan]

Nationals end up with more hits, but the big bombs from Schwarber, Bohm and Cave tilt the score well into the Phillies' favor.

Solid win in game 1. Wheeler gets the win and Strahm an Ortiz finish off the final 3 innings.

On to game 2.

[Dusty]

Good game, and another in a few minutes.

[bkox]

Nats hit the ball HARD against Zack Wheeler in first three innings. Phillies thought he might have been tipping. He changed up something. Nats had just one base runner in final three innings. "Once I did that the next few innings were better."

[gmwannabe]

that's the second time in a week about tipping. Maybe they should all change what they are doing. also, with all the talk of standing O's, with all of the homers he hits, has schwarber ever had any curtain calls?
