Kyle Schwarber homered twice, Zack Wheeler won his third consecutive start, and the Philadelphia Phillies routed the Washington Nationals 10-1 in the opener of a five-game series on Thursday night.
Philadelphia, which scored seven runs in the third inning, has won 12 of its last 14 and improved to 11-2 under interim manager Rob Thomson.
Wheeler allowed one run and four hits in seven innings while striking out three. The right-hander improved to 3-0 with a 1.42 ERA in three starts this month. Things spiraled from there for Corbin , who yielded a double and a walk before Nick Castellanos and J.T. Realmuto delivered consecutive RBI singles. Both scored on Didi Gregorius’ double, and Gregorius came around for the inning’s seventh unearned run when first baseman Josh Bell sailed a throw to Corbin on Alec Bohm’s grounder.
Corbin allowed nine runs, two earned, and eight hits in 3 1/3 innings. The struggling lefty's ERA actually dropped from 6.65 to 6.59.Bell homered in the fourth for Washington.FIRST OF MANY
