Great catch at the wall in centerfield and doubleplay to even up the Braves-Phillies. Meanwhile, the Dodgers pitching has been horrid.

Hey the Birds have come a long way in just a few years. Whereas us Nats fans watched the Lerners burn a championship team to the ground and can't even break .500. They need to just sell the damned team already...
