J.A. Happ was scratched from his start today because of a mild strained oblique. It is not known to be serious so hopefully Happ will make his next scheduled start. Instead, Jamie Moyer started and he did a serviceable job. Moyer pitched six innings and only gave up two runs.
The Phillies offense was able to start off the game by getting a run in the first inning that gave them a 1-0 lead. Then after Hunter Pence hit a two-run home run off of Jamie Moyer, Ryan Howard and Raul Ibanez hit back-to-back home runs that put the Phillies back on top 3-2.
Chan Ho Park came into the game in the seventh inning and hold the lead. Park has been really good out of the bullpen this year but today he just had a bad day. Park was charged with the loss as the Phillies lost 4-3.
UP NEXT
Phillies:Pedro Martinez turned in best outing since joining the Phillies when he outdueled fellow Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum in a victory over the Giants. The right-hander allowed one run on five hits over seven innings and struck out nine.
Nationals:John Lannan held the San Diego offense in check through four scoreless innings, but a five-run fifth spelled the end of Lannan's day and gave the Padres the cushion they would need to complete the three-game sweep. Lannan got two quick outs to start the fifth, but Everth Cabrera and David Eckstein reached base with ground-ball singles before Adrian Gonzalez hit a line drive that tailed away from left-fielder Willie Harris and landed just beyond his reach, scoring two runs. Chase Headley's two-run double was the other big blow in the frame that added to the San Diego lead.
