Daylen Lile's homer lifts Nationals over Phillies 6-3 in Washington

Daylen Lile hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the seventh inning as the Washington Nationals defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 6-3 on September 15. The game was tied at 3 until Lile, coming off the bench, connected with a pitch from Jonathan Bowlan after consecutive singles. Kyle Schwarber contributed his 45th home run for Philadelphia, which has lost four of five games but remains in the NL Wild Card race. The Nationals secured their fourth consecutive victory, their first streak of that length since June. The two teams face off again Wednesday with Phillies' Zack Wheeler opposing Nationals' Cade Cavalli.
