Game 123 Phils @ Nationals

For only the second time this season the Phils have a blown save.

Madson came in the ninth with a 4-2 lead and gave up a walk and a few hits and now the bases are loaded with one out.

You could really see this comg. The Phils got 7 hits and four runs in one inning and then only one hit the rest of the game.
While the Nats chipped away for. Couple of runs to get back in it.

The game started at the normal time but with Howard up the rains came and began a 2:22 minute rain delay.

Oswalt was going to start but Kendrick came in after the game restarted. Hernandez came back out for the Nats.

Madson is terrible in the ninth. He doesn't have control of his fastball or his change up.
He's missing spots and is the hitters. Now it's a full count, bases loaded and two outs. This is it.

And that was it. A game winning grand slam home run.
I guess that's going to happen during a season even to the team with the best record.

Whatever it is about the Nationals I don't know, the Phils always have a tough time with them.
For some reason thisgame doenst bug me as much a that loss to the diamondbacks the other day.

Now they're 3-3 last six games. Slump?

Loss 8-4
Last ten 6-4
After Pence 14-4
Record 80-43
Magic number is still 31
Division lead down to 7.5
