Phillies lose Lee to elbow strain, thump Nationals

Phillies lefty Cliff Lee on Thursday night made his third start since his return from a two-month stint on the disabled list with a strained left elbow. Everything seemed to be going well in a 10-4 victory over the Nationals as Lee retired eight of the first nine batters he faced. But in the third inning, he suffered a strained left flexor pronator in his left elbow, the same injury as before.
