Nats Nightly

Washington Nationals' right-hander Joe Ross put together another solid start, allowing one run on three hits in seven innings pitched, and Jayson Werth, Daniel Murphy, Danny Espinosa and Stephen Drew all homered in what ended up a 5-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Ross allowed one run on three hits in seven innings and a late blast by Espinosa and an inside the park homer by Drew gave the Nats some breathing room. One more in Citizens Bank Park tomorrow. Nationals now 32-21.
