Walker remained in the game in the sixth inning after getting the once-over from Phillies trainers and throwing out a few test pitches. He had induced a lot of contact on the ground, and when the Nationals hit the ball in the air, it stayed in the ballpark.

The Phillies' defensive miscues were costly Thursday night as they dropped their series finale vs. the Nationals.

After winning the first two of three games against the Washington Nationals, the Philadelphia Phillies couldn’t overcome defensive miscues and complete the sweep on Thursday night, losing 4-2. The Phillies improve to 17-14 on the season,
