Phillies Prevail, 5-3, Over Washington
The Philadelphia Phillies picked up a win at Citizens Bank Park, knocking off the Washington Nationals, 5-3. Starting pitcher Matt Evans played a key role in the triumph. Evans went 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 3, and struck out 6. His record improves to 17-10. Justin Howard was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 37 of 46 save opportunities.

The Nationals had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Phillies going into the bottom of the second inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old first baseman Chris Pounds came to the plate. Pounds hit a 2-run home run on a 2-2 slider from Washington hurler Danny Diaz. It was Pounds's 3rd home run of the year.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Evans.

Philadelphia has a 3-game win streak, while Washington has lost 3 in a row.
