Top of the first - Nationals 2, Phillies 0

Adam Eaton throws the first pitch at 1:05, a ball low and inside. Game time temp is 84 degrees.

Remember to refresh often, particularly during rallies. The score will be updated in the title line of each inning.

Eaton has been shaky his last couple starts and sure enough the Nationals start with consecutive singles. The veteran righty is in an early jam.

After a long flyout to center by Ryan Zimmerman moved the runners up, Dmitri Young blooped a single in front of Pat Burrell. The fans are annoyed because they think Burrell should have dove for it.

Another hard-hit ball, this off the bat of Austin Kearns, for another run. The bad-hop grounder ate up third baseman Wes Helms, who was charged with his ninth error of the year. Tough call by the official scorer.

Two batters later, Eaton gets Jesus Flores swinging to end the inning. After last night's marathon, the Phillies need a long outing from Eaton.
