The Philadelphia Phillies (17-13) extended the win streak to a season-best four games and a second consecutive series victory with their 7-2 win over the Washington Nationals (13-18) on Wednesday night.
After a scoreless top of the first inning, the offense wasted little time staking a comfortable lead for Sanchez against Nats’ righty, Jake Irvin. Bryson Stott led off with a single to right that was followed by a four-pitch walk to Trea Turner. Bryce Harper flied out before Kyle Schwarber sent an 0-2 curveball to the second-level scoreboard in right field for a three-run lead.
