Nationals Lose By a Run at Philadelphia
The bats were silent much of the day at Citizens Bank Park. But fan favorite Austin Riley produced just enough offense to carry the Phillies past the Washington Nationals, 3-2. Riley was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The win was credited to Caleb Thielbar in relief. His record improves to 3-0. Max Scherzer took the loss. Josh Winckowski wrapped it up, recording his 1st save.

With Philadelphia trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth, Riley hit a fastball from Max Scherzer for a 2-run home run. It was his 15th home run of the season and put the Phillies ahead, 3-2.

Philadelphia manager Jon C praised his team's "energy."

The win elevated the Phillies to 29-18.
