Philadelphia Phillies
The Nationals swept the doubleheader on Tuesday and took a full one-game lead over the Brewers in the NL Wild Card.
Joe Ross returned from injury to start the afternoon game, a 4–1 Washington victory. He went four innings and gave up the one run. Then five of Washington’s top options out of the ‘pen each came in and threw a 1-2-3 inning. It was an encouraging performance.

Max Scherzer went another uninspiring six innings in the nightcap and threw his last pitch trailing 4–2. Then his offense got him four runs in the bottom of the sixth against Aaron Nola and Jared Hughes.
The bullpen pitched well again (Daniel Hudson saved both games) and Scherzer ended up winning his eleventh.

That figure is Mad Max’s lowest since 2009 when he went 9–11 with the Arizona Diamondbacks in his first season of his career with more than sixty innings pitched.
Washington Nationals
Anibal Sanchez is a big favorite on Wednesday, which means Stephen Strasburg could be on the hill with a chance to complete the five-game sweep on Thursday.
It’ll be his last start of the season that may yield his first Cy Young. He’s coming into the start tied with Max Fried of the Atlanta Braves with 17 wins, leading the National League in innings pitched, and seven strikeouts behind Jacob deGrom for the most in the NL.
deGrom won the award last season with a 10–9 record. He’s 10–8 this season but only trails Hyun-Jin Ryu in ERA and is the only starter in the NL with a sub-1.00 WHIP. An eighteenth win could prove decisive for Stras, especially if voters who don’t tick Rendon for MVP feel some sympathy.
