The Philadelphia Phillies opened this series with a 12-2 romp to make it five wins through their last six games. They're 9-2 in right-hander Aaron Nola's (8-2, 2.55 ERA) last 11 starts, and he has held opponents to one run or fewer in six of his previous eight turns despite getting knocked around his last time out.

The Nationals have dropped eight of 11 and 25 year old right-hander Erick Fedde (0-2, 5.63 ERA) could be in for a tough game here in his fourth start of the season. Fedde has served up eight homers through 31 1/3 career innings and here he'll face a Phillies team which has scored a total of 42 runs through their last six games.

Phillies are 7-1 in their last 8 games vs. a right-handed starter.
