The Philadelphia Phillies bring a 43-36 record into Nationals Park to face a Washington Nationals club sitting at 41-39.

Players to Watch: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Washington Nationals
Philadelphia Phillies
Bryce Harper — 1B. Harper drives the Phillies lineup with 17 home runs and 44 RBIs while hitting .268 on the season. His .371 on-base percentage and .518 slugging mark make him the toughest out in the order and the bat opposing staffs plan around first.
Brandon Marsh — LF. Marsh leads the Phillies regulars in average at .315, pairing contact with a .504 slugging mark that pushes him well beyond a singles hitter. He has chipped in 11 home runs and 38 RBIs, giving Philadelphia a left-handed bat that can turn over the lineup or clear the bases.
Alec Bohm — 3B. Bohm has knocked in 41 runs while hitting .230 from the heart of the order. His nine home runs round out a middle-of-the-order role that leans on run production more than average, keeping pressure on pitchers when runners reach.
Washington Nationals
James Wood — RF. Wood is the centerpiece of the Washington attack with 20 home runs and 49 RBIs through the first half. He backs that power with a .395 on-base percentage and a .528 slugging mark, the most complete offensive line on the roster.
Luis Garcia Jr. — 1B. Garcia has driven in 48 runs while hitting .262 with 12 home runs. His .484 slugging mark gives Washington a second run producer who shadows Wood closely in RBIs, deepening a lineup that does its damage in the middle.
Keibert Ruiz — C. Ruiz brings a .282 average behind the plate, the steadiest contact bat among the Washington regulars. He adds six home runs and 29 RBIs, and his .485 slugging mark shows the pop that comes with that contact from the catcher spot.
