After a liner right at Chase Utley, Nats pitcher Matt Chico singles up the middle and Cristian Guzman follows with a hit that went just under Utley's glove. Two on, one out for the Washingtonians with the 2-3-4 hitters coming up.
The winds are picking up with the outfield flags blowing out.
Milledge is hit by a pitch loading the bases for Ryan Zimmerman, who beat the Braves last night with a walk-off homer.
Zimmerman hits a sac fly to right as Guzman tags and goes to third.
Myers runs a 3-0 count to Nick Johnson and clearly seems distracted. When Ruiz threw the ball back to the Phillies fiery starter, Myers fielded the ball with his bare right hand.
Sure enough, Johnson walks and Austin Kearns doubles in two runs to give the Nats their first lead of the game. Rich Dubee visited the mound after Milledge was hit earlier the inning, so Myers is on his own.
Gasp! Jimmy Rollins boots a routine grounder that leads to another run. Myers gets out of the inning on a popup, but now the Phils are behind.
