The Phillies scored six unanswered runs against the Nationals but ultimately those were not enough to get a win on Opening Day

Vince Velasquez impressed with 10 strikeouts in four innings but the pitch count troubles plagued him once again, giving the Phillies their first loss at home this year.

Tonight they send the young gun Aaron Nola to the mound against 38-year-old Jeremy Guthrie, who spent last season in the Marlins and Padres minor league systems. He nearly went to the Australian Baseball League had Washington not offered him a minor league contract.

Here’s how you can catch all the action either on television, radio, or through the live streams.
