The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Washington Nationals 10–5 on June 25 at Nationals Park, surpassing the Vegas total of 8.5 runs combined. Philadelphia's offense proved decisive, collecting 13 hits and 3 home runs while driving in 10 runs, despite striking out 10 times. The Phillies' pitching staff was equally effective, allowing just 8 hits and 5 earned runs across the game while striking out 12 Washington batters and issuing only 1 walk. Washington's bats managed just 8 hits with a .247 average and .744 OPS, and their pitching gave up 13 hits and 10 earned runs with a 4.75 ERA—a notable offensive collapse for the home team. The Nationals' lone home run proved insufficient to overcome Philadelphia's power advantage. The Phillies' balanced attack and dominant pitching performance should provide momentum as they continue their road trip.
