The Washington Nationals demolish the Phillies in a 13-2 beat down
We have not seen the Nats school the Phillies like that in a very long time. The boys got 17 hits in a 13-2 win

They destroyed the Phillies in a 13-2 blowout. The good guys had 17 hits and had the Phillies by the neck from the jump. It has been a while since the Nats have delivered a beating like that.
With this 13 run performance, the Nats have their second double digit run game. That offense that we were worried about this spring just flipped the switch and has looked awesome in the regular season. The bats have been hunting in packs so far this season.
This year’s #Nationals team has now passed 2018 with their ninth-inning explosion. Meanwhile, Washington now faces a position player on the mound while winning for just the third time since the 2021 trade deadline really opened the rebuild. @TheNatsReport https://t.
