Both of these National League East division clubs are in limbo, but for entirely different reasons.
The Washington Nationals wasted little time in their three-game series opener against the Phillies on Tuesday, as the offense lit up the scoreboard on its way to a 7-0 victory.
The Nationals (27-28) are known for their wealth of talented pitching. Some hurlers are helping DC hang around the NL East divisional race – but it’s not the pitchers you might think.

The Phillies lost all 4 games of their home and home with Toronto. It was an ugly stretch as twice they were shutout and twice they gave up 10 or more runs to a club that is having all sorts of struggles as well.
The Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies continue their four-game set at the Air Canada Centre on Thursday. The Blue Jays will be looking for the rare four-game sweep after taking it to the Phillies in the first three games of this series. Wednesday night’s game saw the Blue Jays come away with a convincing 10-0 win.
The Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays continue their series in the City of Brotherly Love with game two in the set on Tuesday. Toronto won the series opener on Monday night, claiming a 3-0 decision.
Philly saw their three game winning streak snapped against LA on Wednesday night, dropping them below .500 on the season.
The Dodgers will host the Phillies in game three of a four-game series at Chavez Ravine on Wednesday, looking to after a 3-2 game two loss win on Tuesday.
The Braves and Phillies had their game on Tuesday night postponed. The Braves took the opener by scoring 4 in the 9th but not off Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon.
Even though the Braves are stitching together their starting rotations with bubble gum they are getting good results so far.
Philadelphia could not close the deal on A.J. Burnett’s first start as a Phillie last night as the bullpen gave up two runs in the later innings in the loss. In this game offense was much harder to come by as the Phillies were held to just 8 hits.
Philly got the opening day win but they can not be pleased with the way Cliff Lee got knocked around. Looking more at the positive side the offense exploded with 14 runs and everyone got into the action.
