Second start back for Walker isn't a very good one. 3 Walks, 2 homeruns given up. 3ER

3-2 Nationals in the 5th

Walker is a bit of train wreck.

There are too many scary similarities between a Walker start and a Nola start. It's the inexplicable trash inning out of nowhere. Seemingly on control, then a walk, a hit, then a big blow, a double, a HR and then they're behind. No excuse for this shit.

It all comes down to terrible mechanics and moments of lack of concentration.

Nola is far far better than Walker

Back to back homers by stott and Marsh have tied the game at 4

Strahm and Hoffman each give up a run and the Nationals bullpen shut down the Phillies.

Lose 6-4.

Still took 3/4, onto Atlanta

It is so frustrating to watch pitchers implode out of nowhere and piss away a chance at a win. But the hitters don't help falling to tack on and having horrible plate appearances.
