Cristopher Sánchez draws the assignment for Philadelphia and he’s the clear difference-maker. The lanky left-hander is coming off a six-shutout-inning, 10-strikeout opener and carries last season’s 2.50 ERA and 1.06 WHIP into this start. His heavy sinker/slider mix matches up especially well with a Washington lineup that features seven left-handed or switch hitters. Expect early ground-ball outs and a quick rhythm that lets him work into the seventh on fewer than 100 pitches. Cade Cavalli has premium stuff but still wrestles with command (15 BB in 48⅔ IP last year; 3 BB in 3⅔ in his first start). Philadelphia’s patient top six—Turner, Stott, Bohm, Harper, Schwarber, Marsh—should force deep counts and elevate Cavalli’s pitch total. The second inning rallies around a Bohm walk, Schwarber double and Marsh sac fly for the game’s first run. Cavalli steadies until the fifth, when Harper finally barrels a middle-in heater and sparks a two-run frame that chases the right-hander. Washington scratches back in the fifth on a Brady House RBI single off Sánchez, but the Philly southpaw strands two and exits after six with a 3-1 edge. The Phillies’ bullpen turns to Tim Mayza for the seventh and Brad Keller for the eighth; Keller surrenders a solo blast to Joey Wiemer that trims the lead to 3-2. In the bottom half, Daylen Lile misplays a Brandon Marsh liner into a run-scoring triple, giving closer Jhoan Duran a two-run cushion. Duran flashes triple-digits and a hammer curve to retire the side in order, sealing a crisp 4-2 Phillies victory and evening the series.

Giants besegrar Nationals 11-10 med sen-inning-drivning

San Francisco gjorde 10 poäng i de två sista innings för att chockera Washington, men Giants förblir 27-41 med en run-skillnad på -52, det värsta värdet i NL West, medan Nationals rekord på 35-33 fortfarande håller tredje platsen i östra divisionen trots förlusten.

MLB-brevlåda: Devers, Nationals, DFA-karuseller, Guardians, Red Sox

Devers (.233 AVG, 0.292 xwOBA på 68 SP) har negativt handelsvärde givet hans underprestation; Nationals utebortasucces (23-13 borta, 12-20 hemma) döljer strukturella problem trots +8 rundskillnad.

Nationals bryter 0-29-serien med nionde inning comebacks

Washingtons bortarekord på 22-13 döljer en hemkollaps på 12-20; att radera ett 3-1-underskott mot SFs värsta reliefkastare (Winn, 0.271 xwOBA) visar exakt genomförande under tryck snarare än hållbar offensiv styrka i ett lag som sitter på +5 i löpskillnad.

Nationals vänstersling DJ Herz återkommer efter Tommy John-operation

Herz kastade två poänglösa innings i utökad våruppvärmning på fredagen, vilket markerar hans första spelmatch på två år sedan han genomgick Tommy John-operationen i början av 2025. Hans rehabiliteringsschema förblir gradvis, men hans tillgänglighet i rotationen skulle ta itu med Washingtons djupfrågor (Littell 4.76 ERA, Mikolas 6.39 ERA över fem kombinerade starter).

Sánchez Sätter LHP Shutout-serien mot Padres på 50 2/3 Innings

Sánchez ERA på 1,48 och xwOBA på 0,272 genom 12 starter representerar elitproduktion, men Padres' 3-7-rekord under sina senaste 10 matcher gör dem sårbara för utdragna dominant pitching-prestationer.

Phillies-prospektet Aidan Miller genomgår ryggoperation, borta i 6-8 veckor

Miller är ett prospekt på infielder-nivå vars frånvaro inte kommer att påverka Philadelphias nuvarande trupp direkt; Phillies (31-29, -25 körskillnad) är främst oroad över djupet i en positionsgrupp som redan hanterar organisatorisk talang på mellannivå.

Dodgers besegrar Phillies; Yankees gör 13 i en enda inning

LAD förbättrades till 38-21 med ett rekord på 8-2 i de senaste 10 matcherna och en löpdifferens på +129, medan PHI föll till 30-29 med en differens på -26 efter förlusten. Yankees offensiva explosion mot en kämpande pitchningsmotståndarе var rutinmässig dominans från ett lag med löpdifferens på +98.
