""One through nine, it was really good whole night. Just fun to see those guys put together some at-bats, string together a bunch of hits in a row and run the bases really well also.""
""I felt good. A lot of credit to the offense for giving me a four-spot cushion there before I took the field. A lot of credit to them allowed me to kind of settle down a little bit early, so I thought that was very nice.""
The Nationals, under manager Blake Butera, surprised many by winning their opening series against the Cubs and defeating the Phillies 13-2. The offense excelled, scoring four runs in the first inning, with every player getting at least one hit. Joey Wiemer made history by reaching base in his first 10 plate appearances. Pitcher Foster Griffin had a strong performance, allowing two runs over five innings, contributing to the team's success after a long absence from the majors due to injury.
