Fanarchy Field Notes

• Chaparro's two-run homer was the Nationals' lone bright spot in a tough loss.
• Nationals' bullpen faltered as Varland surrendered four runs in less than an inning.
• House's early RBI single was quickly overshadowed by the Phillies' power display.
• Nationals' offense fizzled after Chaparro's homer, failing to capitalize further.
• Defensive woes weren't the issue, but the Nationals couldn't match the Phillies' firepower.
