Zack Wheeler anchored the win with a scoreless outing, keeping Washington's offense in check before Jose Alvarado and Jhoan Duran completed the shutout effort from the bullpen.

Alec Bohm's single brought Trea Turner home in the first, giving Philadelphia the lead. Bryson Stott's walk brought Bryce Harper across later in the inning, and Luis Arraez doubled in the seventh to bring Harper home and extend the margin.

Washington's offense could not answer after the early damage. The Nationals managed only scattered opportunities, while their pitching trouble in the opening inning left them chasing the game.

Philadelphia extended its winning streak with a composed pitching performance. The game never became loud; it stayed a quiet duel until the Phillies' early advantage carried them through.
