The Washington Nationals lose to the Phillies 2-1. Brett Myers goes seven innings, allowing just one unearned run. Collin Balester lasts six innings. He allows two runs walks none and struck out five. It's the fourth time in the last five games that the Nationals starter pitched well enough to win, but the offense just couldn't provide support. The team owns an amazingly inept offense right now, having scored 10 runs in their last seven games.
