Nationals 7, Phillies 3

PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies fell to Washington in their final home game of the season, a season that they will soon long to forget.
In his last start of the season, Tyler Cloyd was less-than-impressive again and the Nationals capitalized in their 7-3 win over Philadelphia.
Cloyd was shelled for six runs in five innings of work. He will head into the off season as a candidate for the rotation next season, but his unimpressive stint with the Phillies will certainly be on the minds of the coaching staff.
The Phillies led 3-1 after a 1st-inning three-run double by Darin Ruff.
The Nationals chipped away at the lead. They got a solo homer from Michael Morse in the 2nd inning to make it 3-2 and an RBI ground out by Morse tied the game up in the 4th.
Washington took the lead in the 5th and didn’t look back on Bryce Harper’s RBI single.
2B: Ruf (1).
