Phillies drop fifth straight in loss to the Nationals

The Philadelphia Phillies (79-79) drop their fourth consecutive game against the Washington Nationals (89-69) by a final of 5-2. They drop to .500 for the first time since they came into Opening Day with a 0-0 record and are in danger of being swept by D.C. in five games.

Per the Athletic’s Matt Gelb, Rhys Hoskins came into this game 0 for his last 25. Since his last hit, his batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage have all dropped by at least 10 points. He finally got off the schneid in the fourth and got himself a RBI.
