Over their last 13 games at Citizens Bank Park (since April 12, 2015), the Nationals are 11-2 and have totaled more than twice as many runs (76-35) and home runs (25-12) as the Phillies. While Washington has batted .280 over those 13 games, its pitchers have limited Philadelphia to a sub-.200 average (.197).

The Nationals are averaging 5.92 runs per game in August, their highest monthly rate since the Montreal Expos established a franchise high with 6.77 runs per game in April 1996 (minimum 10 games in month). Washington's .287 batting average in August is its highest since producing a .290 mark in July 2006.

The Phillies' streak of errorless games ended at nine when they committed a miscue on Sunday. Through the end of July, the Phillies had suffered the seventh most errors in the majors with 69. But their sum in August (6) is tied for the second fewest in MLB (San Francisco, 5).

Daniel Murphy and Wilson Ramos rank 1-2 in the National League with batting averages of .390 and .369, respectively, against fastballs (based on the final pitch of plate appearances). Murphy's 97 hits versus fastballs are the second most in the NL (Martin Prado, 99).

When Trea Turner has started in center field this season, the Nationals are averaging 6.29 runs per game and batting .292 as a team. Those marks are significantly higher than their rates with all other center fielders (4.64 runs per game and .250 batting average).

By going 1-for-3 on Sunday, Cesar Hernandez is now batting .336 since July 23. He leads the majors with 10 bunt hits in 2016 overall, while Hernandez's 26 infield hits are the third most in MLB.
