Washington Nationals blow 6-0 lead in 7-6 loss to Philadelphia Phillies in D.C.; drop 5th straight...

Juan Soto walked the first time up today, homered in his second trip to the plate against the Philadelphia Phillies’ starter Aaron Nola, hitting a two-run shot to center field in Washington, D.C.’s Nationals Park, drove in two runs with a single in the fifth, and then singled again in the bottom of the seventh (3 for 3, HR, BB, 4 RBIs to that point), but the visiting team kept chipping away at the 6-0 lead that the Nats built up, and they took the lead after some poor defensive play by second baseman Luis García in the eighth.
