Nationals fans, it was a tough outing against the Phillies today. While we had our moments, we ultimately fell short with a final score of 11-6. Let's dive into the game recap.Early Highlights and Opportunities

Abrams and Wood also showed some hustle with a couple stolen bases early in the game, showcasing our aggressive base running!Philly's Power Surge
Unfortunately, the bottom dropped out for us in the 6th inning. After Bohm singled and a series of walks, the Phillies pulled ahead with Kyle Schwarber's three-run homer.
This took them past us 7-2. The Phillies' bats didn't slow down, and their runs piled up.Fighting Back
Attempting to climb back up, Rosario hit a solo homer in the bottom of the 6th. Following that, Nathaniel Lowe belted a two-run homer in the 8th that brought us a bit closer. In the 9th inning, Lowe came through again with an RBI single to bring in one last run. Our hitters were determined, but we just couldn’t bridge the gap.Closing Thoughts
