The Phillies won the first two games in the season series with the Nationals last week after Washington won 14 of 19 matchups in 2019. Philadelphia hasn't won its first three games against the Washington franchise in a season since winning the first five meetings in 2004 over the Montreal Expos.

Juan Soto leads MLB with a 1.189 OPS, recording a 1.310 OPS during innings 1-6 and a .769 OPS after the sixth inning. That drop in OPS from the first six innings to the seventh inning or later of .541 trails Philadelphia's Rhys Hoskins' decrease of .598 for the largest drop-off in the NL among batting qualifiers.

Rhys Hoskins' ratio of 5.21 PA/BB ranks third in the majors among qualifiers, while J.T. Realmuto's PA/BB ratio of 19.33 is sixth worst in the NL. The best PA/BB ratio by a Phillie in a season was Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt at 5.23 in 1983.

Washington collected 38 hits in its three-game series at Boston over the weekend, and is batting an MLB-best .312 on the road this season. The last team to finish a season with a .300 batting average on the road was the 1939 World Series champion Yankees, who hit .304 away from the Bronx.

The Phillies, meanwhile, have a 5.31 ERA in Philadelphia -- the majors' third-worst home ERA ahead of the Red Sox at 6.29 and Rockies at 6.56. The Phillies haven't finished a season with a higher home ERA since 1937 at 5.94.

Trea Turner has 45 hits, tied with David Fletcher and Fernando Tatis Jr. for second in MLB behind Charlie Blackmon's 46. Turner reached the 45-hit mark in 31 games and the only shortstop in Washington franchise history to reach 45 hits faster was Cristian Guzman in just 25 games in 2009.
