DK obviously tired early and was rusty, The Braves gave the Nats a big inning, and had the go ahead runs on base in the 9th.
This was not a bad loss.

What an atrocious loss by the Phillies
Phillies are pretenders, but the Nats are a real threat. Need to beat them every game we can as they are about to have a cake walk of a schedule.
I was stunned in the 9th when the Culbertson ball was caught easily. Off the bat I thought it was a certain game tying hit. Tonight was straight frustrating.
We still haven't beat the best team on paper.
And then Dansby looked like he placed a blooper perfectly. However Robles dives and avoids two defenders and blindly catches the ball. And he almost completely dove past the ball but reached back and made the catch. How he managed to catch it while avoiding two other defenders is beyond me. Just flat out bad luck tonight. Move along and take tomorrow and all will be well.
Division is a joke again. 86 wins probably takes the east this season.
True for now, go look at the 1992 Braves. Fair comparison in my opinion.
