 Zach Eflin, the Phillies' scheduled starter for the opener, allowed an unearned run over seven innings to beat the Braves his last time out.

 Rhys Hoskins is mired in an 0-for-18 slump -- the second-longest hitless stretch of his career. He has just two hits in 20 at-bats in the nation's capital this season, and is slashing just .155/.294/.352 with 23 strikeouts in 18 career games at Washington.

HP - Wegner, 1B - Porter, 2B - Scheurwater, 3B - Carapazza

The Washington Nationals return home to close out the regular season with a stretch of eight games in seven days that will essentially determine whether they host the National League wild card game or travel to it.
After Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Miami Marlins, the Nationals (85-69) find themselves one percentage point ahead of the streaking Milwaukee Brewers (86-70) for the top wild-card spot.

Nats-Phils to play 5; wild-card fates at stake

WASHINGTON (AP)  Adam Eaton is rounding into form while the Washington Nationals inch closer to an NL wild card.
