Phillies Sunk by Nationals
Citizens Bank Park was the site for National League action featuring the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals.

Washington turned a good effort from starter Jesus Duran into a win over the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. The Nationals won the game, 8-2. Duran, now 3-6, was the winner. In 8.1 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 5, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs.

The Phillies had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Nationals going into the top of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old center fielder Matthias Pirovano came to the plate. Pirovano hit a 2-run triple on a 1-0 sinker from Philadelphia hurler David Piedrahita. It was Pirovano's 6th triple of the year.

"I liked his command," said Washington manager Doug Graff. "Jesus was throwing strikes."

The 4th-place Nationals improved to 32-38.
