Nationals Suffer 6-4 Home Defeat
Nationals Park was the site of the home opener for the Washington Nationals. The contest featured a prime matchup between Eddie Morales of the visiting Philadelphia Phillies and Jimmy Knebel of the Nationals. The final score was 6-4, the Phillies getting the win. Beau Clark turned in the best performance. Eddie Morales, the winner, goes to 1-0. He allowed 3 runs on 10 hits, with no walks and 3 strikeouts over 6.1 innings. Ruben Peterson earned save number 1 this season.

Philadelphia used a well-timed hit by Dave Montano to capture the win. The first baseman socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Phillies ahead, 5-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"When this team comes together and plays the way we can, we can compete with anyone," said Montano. "I think we're going to keep proving that."
