Phillies Slip Again
Two Ryan Howard home runs could not trump three Cristian Guzman hits as the Washington shortstop continued his hot hitting. The Phillies fall 9-7 and slip three games behind the Mets. Washington has now won 8 of their last 9 games, while the Phillies are 3-5 in their last eight.
Dropping 2 out of 3 to the Nats down the stretch really hurts. They've still got time but they're not going to catch up dropping series to the Nats.
