The Philadelphia Phillies are playing the Washington Nationals for what feels like the hundredth time this season. Last week, the Phillies played host for the four-game set, this week, they’re in our nation’s capital for another four.
Thanks to an impressive debut by Kyle Gibson, whom the Phillies acquired from the Texas Rangers at Friday’s trade deadline, the Phillies moved back into second place in the NL East with a 15-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.
