One Sentence Summary: Kyle Schwarber led the Phillies offense with two home runs in this 11-0 route over the Nationals.
What It Means: The Phillies are still in a virtual tie with the Cardinals for the league's third Wild Card spot.
What Happened: The offense banged out 13 hits, including Schwarber's home runs, a two-run home run from J.T. Realmuto, three hits from Darick Hall and a pair of hits, including a double, from Nick Castellanos. It was the kind of game that made you temporarily forget the team was missing Bryce Harper from the heart of its line-up.
