The Philadelphia Phillies are off to a disappointing 1-3 start to the season, drawing frustration from fans after a 13-2 loss to the Washington Nationals. The team struggled offensively, managing only two hits in the early innings and showcasing sloppy defense, while starter Taijuan Walker allowed seven runs over 4 2/3 innings. With a .189 team batting average so far, the Phillies will look to rookie Andrew Painter for a turnaround in his first big-league start. The team’s lack of offensive support has left them without a lead in any of their recent games.
