Washington's Jake Irvin (2-0) is set to get the start on Wednesday opposite Philadelphia's Cristopher Sanchez (2-1). First pitch remains scheduled for 6:45 p.m. ET pending any updates from the team or Major League Baseball. The Phillies took the series' first game on Tuesday by a score of 7-6.

The Nationals-Phillies game heading into Tuesday night looked like it would be a good one. After all, it was pitting Nationals up-and-coming ace MacKenzie Gore against Phillies veteran and workhorse ace Zack Wheeler. It would end up with a wild ending that made most people forget about the starters.

The Phillies notched a fourth straight win Wednesday and had a much smoother night than their series opener vs. the Nationals.

Philadelphia won a 7-6 thriller over Washington that featured six runs scored in the ninth inning. The Nationals scored a run before giving up the lead on a SAC fly followed by a wild pitch that scored Bryson Stott. The Phillies have won three straight after losing the past five.
