 Or I should say the Phillies used an opener strategy. Reliever Michael Mercado got the loss. He gave up six earned runs on five hits in four innings. And Sir Anthony Dominguez didn't fare too much better right after him in this one. The Phillies, again, only with four hits in the game. The Nationals, they were victorious yesterday. Excuse me, they fell to the Milwaukee Brewers by a score of 17.
