[ASFN Admin]

Losing Jimmy Rollins right before first pitch didn't ruin the Philadelphia Phillies' day. Placido Polanco hit a go-ahead single, Chase Utley had a two-run homer and the Phillies overcame an early deficit to beat the Washington Nationals 7-4 in their home opener Monday. The two-time defending NL champions are off to a 6-1 start, their best since opening the 1993 pennant-winning season 7-1.
