The Philadelphia Phillies secured a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals in extra innings, with Bryce Harper delivering a game-winning sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning. This win improves the Phillies' record to 33-14, tying them with the 1976 and 1993 teams for the best start in franchise history. They have not lost consecutive games in 24 days and are unbeaten in their last 14 series, marking the second-longest streak in franchise history. Zack Wheeler contributed significantly to the team's success by striking out six batters over 7 1/3 innings in a previous game against the Nationals, which the Phillies won 4-2 in 2 hours, 15 minutes.
