Austin Voth has nothing to lose, and he’s on to something...

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.
