After bashing back-to-back homers on Friday, Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber went 0-for-8 in a 2-0 loss on Saturday.

The Phillies had a baserunning miscue in both of the first two innings. Trea Turner doubled down the right-field line to lead off the game and then tried to steal his third base in two days. Cavalli caught him before throwing a pitch to Kyle Schwarber, stepping off the rubber and easily throwing Turner out at third.

Philadelphia Phillies got stuck in Cincinnati area due to plane trouble. But workers in two cities got them ready for their opening game in Washington.

For at least one week, the Phillies’ starting rotation will go from a handful to a six pack. Aaron Nola met the team here Thursday and will come back from three months on the injured list to start Sunday,

Kyle Schwarber hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer in the seventh inning and the Phillies beat the Nationals 6-2 to snap a three-game skid.

The Nationals opened the series with a 3-2 victory which gave Washington back-to-back wins and a 4-2 mark over the past six games. The Phillies, on the other hand are riding a three-game losing streak, which follows up a four-game winning streak.

"We’ll see how it all works out moving forward. I think it’s good this time of year to get guys days off,” manager Rob Thomson said.
