Take a look at our three biggest takeaways from the Washington Nationals’ 3-0 loss to Philadelphia.
Despite getting an excellent outing out of starter Gio Gonzalez, the Washington Nationals dropped their second straight contest to the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday night. Gonzalez (1-1, 1.42 ERA) went toe-to-toe with the Phillies’ Jeremy Hellickson, but the 2011 Rookie of the Year ultimately prevailed.
Hellickson (2-1, 3.81) kept the Nats’ bats at bay, allowing no runs on two hits and three walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings pitched.
