Phils Pitchers Falter Against Nats

Share

For what seemed like the fifteenth straight game, the Phillies starter got off to an extremely bad first inning last night in DC. Perhaps the drain of an extremely emotional past few days has caught up with the squad and they had some cobwebs to shake loose, but despite being down only a run late into last night's affair you never got the sense the Phils would claw back.

It was Adam Dunn who got the Nats on the board and put them ahead for good. He hit a blast deep into the second deck of right centerfield, not far from where our group was sitting.

After a shaky first few outings at Citizens Bank Park to start the season, many thought the pomp and pageantry effected the teams performance on the field. Returning home tomorrow, they'll have to play through the extremely emotional circumstance of playing the first games in Philadelphia without Harry Kalas in the broadcast booth. It will no doubt be an emotional weekend.
