If the Nats win tonight, he&#8217;ll have to buy me a cheesesteak. But that can&#8217;t happen, no way the Nats can take a four game series from the Phillies &#8212; even the AAA version that they&#8217;ve been putting out.* No way they can go 6-1 to claim a winning record either.<\/p>\n<p>Lannan also won his 10th game of the year, his first 10 win season.
