Washington Nationals vs Philadelphia Phillies Match Player Stats On Aug 07, 2022

Nick Maton also homered, and Aaron Nola pitched six innings as the surging Phillies won their fifth straight game and 10th in their last 11.

Hoskins, who became the first Phillie since at least 1900 to homer in the first inning of three straight games on Saturday, didn't extend that streak -- instead waiting until the fourth inning Sunday to connect.

Hall hit Abbott's first pitch of the second inning for a home run to left to make it 1-0.

In the third inning, the Phillies loaded the bases on a hit by pitch, a bunt single and a walk. Alec Bohm's walk then forced in a run.

Philadelphia chased Abbott in a five-run fourth. With one out and one on, Maton homered to right center to make it 4-0. Kyle Schwarber followed with a double and Hoskins connected with a 1-1 fastball for his 24th homer of the season.

The Phillies' record for consecutive games with a home run is five, accomplished by six players, including Hoskins (2017).
