Olsen sharp, Nats end Phillies' run at 5 (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Scott Olsen pitched neatly into the sixth inning and Washington's beleaguered bullpen held on as the Nationals snapped the Philadelphia Phillies' five-game winning streak with a 4-1 victory Wednesday night. Olsen (1-3) allowed one run and six hits, striking out six. The left-hander shut down an offense that scored 33 runs in the previous three games, including 20 against Nationals pitching.
