The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 11-9 on Sunday to take the three-game series. They needed the offense after a concerning start from an important pitcher. The Phillies got Aaron Nola back from injury , having hurt both his ankle and rib, and saw his ERA explode to 6.92 after a dismal start. Patrick Stevens of the Associated Press reported on the bad start on Sunday.
