PHILADELPHIA (Interstat) — The Philadelphia Phillies look to extend a three-game winning streak Tuesday night when they host the Washington Nationals at Citizens Bank Park. First pitch is scheduled under cloudy skies with the temperature near 86 degrees. The Phillies enter at 60-53, while the Nationals are 55-59. Washington has lost six straight and trails in the season series, with Philadelphia winning six of eight meetings. Philadelphia won Monday’s opener 6-3 behind center fielder Derek Hill, who went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBIs. Hill has shown recent pop, with three home runs over his past 10 games, including blasts July 20 against the Dodgers and July 10 at Detroit. Aaron Nola also starred for Philadelphia on Monday, allowing three earned runs over six innings with five strikeouts. Jhoan Duran added a scoreless inning. Washington’s Monday highlights came from Daylen Lile, who went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs, and Abimelec Ortiz, who homered as part of a 1-for-3 day. Andrew Alvarez is listed as a player to watch for Washington. He took the loss Monday despite a strong outing, allowing two earned runs over 6.1 innings with five strikeouts. Alvarez has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. The Nationals have struggled recently, with series losses at Atlanta and at home against Toronto before arriving in Philadelphia. The Phillies, meanwhile, have won three straight after taking two of three from Baltimore. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 4-3 Phillies victory. Interstat’s ELO system gives Philadelphia a 63.2% chance to win. Philadelphia is a -1.5 run-line favorite, and the over/under is 9.
