The Philadelphia Phillies will be looking for a four-game series sweep when they host the Washington Nationals on Thursday.
Not too long ago, the Phillies were 9-14. If they can complete a four-game sweep of the Nationals on Thursday, they would improve to 18-15.
On Wednesday, Philadelphia won 3-0 against three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer. The Phillies have also posted back-to-back shutouts.
The Phillies will hand the ball Thursday to right-hander Zach Eflin (2-1, 4.10 ERA). Facing the Braves in his most recent start, Eflin tossed seven innings and gave up four hits and one run while striking out eight and walking none.
