WASHINGTON D.C., DC — Rhys Hoskins hit a go-ahead single in the 10th inning as the Philadelphia Phillies rallied and then took the lead against struggling Washington closer Brad Hand, beating the Nationals 5-2.
Philadelphia, which has taken seven of its last nine, won consecutive road games for the first time this season.
Washington dropped its fourth in a row to sink a season-worst six games below .500.
Hand, who blew a save Saturday against the New York Yankees and then suffered the loss the next afternoon in the Bronx, was staked to a 2-1 lead in the ninth.
He quickly gave it back on Odúbel Herrera’s home run.
The teams will complete their three game series today at 1:05 p.m.
