Austin Voth was in attack mode early against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday afternoon in the nation’s capital, retiring the first seven batters he faced, before a ground ball to third bounced off Josh Harrison’s foot as the tried to backhand it.
A two-out single by Andrew McCutchen and walk to Bryce Harper loaded the bases in front of Alec Bohm, who grounded into a force at second to end the threat.
It was 5-0 in the Nationals’ favor when Voth came out for the fourth, and gave up a solo shot to left by Jean Segura with two down.
