Top of the first, 5-0 Nationals

It's a brisk 49 degrees here at the Park and the Nationals are rallying already.

Cristian Guzman led off with a double to deep right and Lastings Milledge beat out an infield single that Ryan Howard should have made the play on. It was a slow bounder and Jimmy Rollins had to hurry. The throw wasn't perfect, but Howard should have made the play.

Washington scores when Chase Utley's doubleplay relay throw is wide of first base allowing Guzman to score.

On Monday, it was the Phillies bullpen that let them down. Last night, the offense managed just one hit. Today, the defense comes out shaky. RBI single by Aaron Boone.

The Nats continue to punish the Phils for their defensive lapses as Ronnie Belliard drills a two-run double. A pop-out by Felipe Lopez generates sarcastic cheers from the crowd.

RBI double by Jesus Flores makes it 5-0 before Moyer gets pitcher Jason Bergmann to strikeout swinging to end the rather ugly inning.
