Lee, Michael Young lead Phils over Nationals

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Cliff Lee is doing his best to stay in Philadelphia and turn the Phillies into a contender.

Lee struck out nine in eight impressive innings, Michael Young tied a career high with three doubles and the Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 4-2 Tuesday night.

Lee (9-2) allowed two runs and five hits to win his fifth straight decision. The three-time All-Star lefty lowered his ERA to 2.53 and helped the Phillies move into a second-place tie with the defending NL East champion Nationals.
