Bullpen can't back Roark, allow three in ninth

The Nationals collected four hits in the game, and they scored only three runs during the three-game series, all of which came in Tuesday's loss.

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Roark solid again: After a 15-strikeout performance last weekend, right-hander Tanner Roark once again thrived, throwing seven shutout innings and striking out six batters. The Phillies had runners in scoring position only once, but Cesar Hernandez was thrown out trying to advance from second to third base in the fifth inning.

Phillies continue to stymie Harper: After walking Harper five times in the first two games, the Phillies wound up pitching to Harper in two key situations on Thursday.
