Phillies 3, Nationals 2
WASHINGTON — At his dominant best until a shaky ninth, Roy Halladay pitched his first complete game of 2011 for the Phillies. Through eight, Halladay allowed only two Adam LaRoche singles. In the ninth, he allowed four hits, including RBI singles by Laynce Nix and Danny Espinosa. The two-time Cy Young Award winner ended the game by throwing six strikes in a row to fan pinch-hitter Matt Stairs and Ivan Rodriguez.
