Marquis can't escape first in loss to Phils

By Bill Ladson / MLB.com

PHILDELPHIA -- Right-hander Jason Marquis had an outing to forget on Friday night. He couldn't get out of the first inning as the Nationals lost to the Phillies, 9-1, at Citizens Bank Park.

Marquis' outing was so bad that it brought back memories of his start on April 18 against the Brewers in which he allowed seven runs without retiring a batter in the first inning. That would be his last game before having right elbow surgery to remove bone chips.

At least Marquis was healthy this time and was able to get an out to start the bottom of the first against the Phillies, but the next eight hitters he faced reached base and six of them scored. Raul Ibanez had the biggest blow with a two-run single.
