PHILADELPHIA - Chad Tracy provided a surge in the Washington dugout, though the good feelings were short-lived. After Tracys homer with two outs in the top of the ninth inning tied the game, Domonic Brown hit an RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Nationals 5-4 on Monday night. The Nationals tied it at 4 when Tracy hit a solo homer off closer Jonathan Papelbon (1-0). It was the first blown save for Papelbon, who had converted his previous 13 chances. "Everybody was feeling good and emotions were high," Tracy said. "Personally it was good for me, but nobodys happy right now. A loss is a loss." Papelbon easily retired the first two batters in the ninth and had Tracy in an 0-2 hole. But Tracy, who pinch-hit in the seventh and stayed in the game, hit his third home run, barely clearing the wall just inside the foul pole in right. "He was trying to be short," Tracy said. "I fought off two pitches and finally hit one." But Ben Revere led off the Phillies ninth with a single against Fernando Abad (0-2). Revere was running on Jimmy Rollins one-out single and easily reached third base. Abad struck out pinch-hitter Steven Lerud for the second out before Brown fisted the winning hit to centre. Papelbon was the first player to greet Brown in celebration as he was rounding first base. "I was trying to stay as short and quick as I can, especially with a tough lefty like Abad," Brown said after his first walkoff hit. "It feels great. Its an unbelievable feeling. Its priceless." "Hes been great for us," Brown, speaking about Papelbon, added. "I told him were going to fight for him and we ended up coming up with the win." Ryan Howard went 3 for 3 with a homer and two RBIs and Delmon Young had a two-run double for the Phillies, who returned home after losing seven games on a 10-game road trip. "Were trying to get some games on the Nats," Brown said. "It feels good to get a win, especially after a long road trip." John Lannan, a former mainstay in the Nationals rotation, made his first start since April 17 after a nearly two-month stint on the disabled list with a strained tendon in his left knee. He allowed six hits and two runs in five innings, striking out four and walking one in his first start against his former club. "I felt like he did a pretty good job for his first time back," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "The 92 pitches were a little deeper than I thought that he would go in the game. He did alright. His five innings were big." Said Lannan, "Just getting back in the swing of things. It felt awesome. Its been a lot of time and a lot of hard work. Im happy to be back." Lannan said he approached Mondays start like he would any other in spite of pitching against the team that drafted him in 2005. "I knew I had to do a job no matter who I was facing," said Lannan, who made 134 career start, including two on Opening Day, for Washington. "No extra emotion." Steve Lombardozzi had two hits, including an RBI double, for the Nationals, who have lost three of four. "It was a tough loss after a good comeback," Washington manager Davey Johnson said. Howard led off the second with a solo shot to tie it at 1. It was the eighth homer of the season for Howard, who had been mired in a power slump. The slugger entered with just one homer since May 7, but launched Dan Harens offering into the second deck deep in right field. "Ive been trying to put together some good at-bats and let the power come when it comes," Howard said. Haren continued his recent struggles and remained winless in his last seven starts (0-5, 6.22 ERA) since May 9. Haren is 0-3 with a 5.82 ERA in six career starts against Philadelphia. "He pitched good in spots," Johnson said. "He left some balls over the plate but finished strong. We have faith in him. Hell be fine." Philadelphia went ahead 3-1 in the third on Youngs two-run double to right that just eluded the glove of a diving Jayson Werth. Washington pulled within 3-2 in the fourth on Lombardozzis RBI double and Howards fifth-inning RBI single put the Phillies back up by two runs. Ian Desmonds RBI single off Mike Adams in the eighth inning brought Washington within 4-3. NOTES: Nationals OF Bryce Harper was cleared to begin strength work on his injured left knee.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Matt Garza plans to pitch as well as he can for the Chicago Cubs as long as hes with the team. Thats how hes dealing with all this trade talk. Garza pitched eight sharp innings for his third consecutive win, leading the Cubs to a 3-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night. "For the past six or seven years my name always comes up," he said. "Until my phone rings, Im going to be a Cub. Im just worried about the next five days." Garza (4-1) allowed one run and four hits, struck out five and walked three in his fourth consecutive quality start. The right-hander is 3-0 with a sparkling 0.90 ERA since yielding a season-high nine runs to the Cincinnati Reds on June 11. "Thats as good as Ive seen him in two years," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "Thats with seven lefties in the lineup. His command of the fastball down and away, he didnt need to throw many breaking balls. He had extra velocity when he needed it and threw first pitch strikes." With the Cubs well off the pace in the NL Central, Garza could be one of the top targets for contenders looking for pitching help ahead of the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. "Sure I love pitching in October," Garza said. "Id love to be pitching with this team in October. Were scratching and clawing our way back into the toughest division." Luis Valbuena homered for Chicago, which has won five of seven. Alfonso Soriano and Brian Bogusevic each drove in a run, and Kevin Gregg pitched the ninth for his 14th save in 15 chances. Brandon Moss went deep for the Athletics, who had won five of six. Bartolo Colon (11-3) gave up two runs and nine hits in seven innings in his first loss since May 9. "It was a good matchup with two pitchers you expect to go deep into games," As manager Bob Melvin said. "We had a tough time figuring out Garza." As catcher John Jaso, one of the many left-handed batters, said he had trouble with Garzas fastball. "He moved it arouund on me the whole night," Jaso said.dddddddddddd"When he struck me out it was on a curve that just dropped in. I hadnt seen it all night and it was perfect timing." Colon (11-3) was 8-0 with a 1.66 ERA in his previous nine starts. He won the AL pitcher of the month award earlier in the day after going 5-0 with a 1.75 ERA in June. "He made a good pitch to Soriano, who stayed on it and got the bloop single and then the home run," Melvin said. "Other than that he pitched like weve seen him all year." Colons first wild pitch in over four years helped the Cubs score in the first. Starlin Castro singled with one out, advanced to second on the wild pitch and scored on Sorianos single. Colons last wild pitch was on May 26, 2009, a span of 1,499 days and 443 innings. Valbuenas seventh homer of the season gave the Cubs a 2-0 edge in the third. It was his first home run in just over a month. Moss connected for his 15th homer in the fourth, but Dioner Navarro and Bogusevic hit back-to-back doubles to make it 3-1 in the eighth. NOTES: The Cubs designated RHP Shawn Camp for assignment and optioned LHP Chris Rusin to Triple-A Iowa, making room for RHP Matt Guerrier, acquired in a trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers, and RHP Pedro Strop, part of the deal that sent RHP Scott Feldman to the Baltimore Orioles.
