Aaron Nola holds the Nationals to just two hits and Patrick Corbin can’t avoid early trouble as Bryce Harper & Co. take series opener.
Bryce Harper doubled in his first two at-bats and finished with three hits to help the Phillies beat the Nationals. CJ Abrams rounded first base and eyed second after lining a ball through the infield at Nationals Park, blitzing the Philadelphia Phillies with the sort of calculated aggression Manager Dave Martinez wanted early out of his Washington Nationals on Friday evening in what ultimately became a 4-0 loss.
Garcia’s dance down the line was as close as the Nationals came to scoring all night. Lane Thomas struck out looking to end the third, and Washington didn’t get another hit against right-hander Aaron Nola or the bullpen of the Phillies .“We’re down three runs, I thought Ricky did a good job not sending him there,” Martinez said. “CJ had his head down and took off. He’s just trying to be aggressive right there.
“We’ve got to try and limit those big innings early,” Martinez said. “It definitely wears on you. You’re always trying to come back, you try to do different things, guys start pressing a little bit.”“It’s tough for any team to , but you’ve got to remain united, close, and battle from the first inning to the ninth inning,” Garcia said through an interpreter.On another brisk Friday night, the ditch didn’t get too big too quickly.
The Nationals hinted at a threat in the fourth when Joey Meneses and Joey Gallo worked one-out walks against Nola, but the flyout and groundout that followed couldn’t do the trick. After Jesse Winker drew a leadoff walk in the ninth, the Nationals scuttled the chance with Meneses hitting into a fielder’s choice before Gallo struck out and Keibert Ruiz popped up on the first pitch he saw to end the game.Four of the five of the night’s hardest-hit balls belonged to the Phillies, per Statcast.
