INSIDE THE PARK GRAND SLAM: Phillies 8, Nationals 2

At 7:16 I turned on the game in my car on the way home from grabbing dinner at Wendy's, the best fast food restaurant on the planet. The first thing I heard Scott Franzke say was "...it's a two-out RBI for Jayson Werth that puts the Nationals up 1-0." Fortunately, that wasn't a harbinger of things to come.

Things didn't get really interesting until the top of the third, when Brian Bogusevic drew a lead-off walk, and Cameron Rupp followed up with a single. Jerad Eickhoff laid down a bunt that dribbled in front of the plate, and Zimmermann picked it up.
