Kyle Schwarber is having a monster season for the Phillies. (Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire) Final Score: Phillies 11, Nationals 0 The calendar flipped to July late last week, but you wouldn't know that from watching Kyle Schwarber Tuesday evening at Citizens Bank Park. Schwarber -- who has won National League Player of the Month for June in back-to-back years -- led off with a home run to dead center field in the bottom of the first inning: https://twitter.com/PhilliesNation/status/1544460441786540032 An All-Star for the Washington Nationals last season, Schwarber homered for a second time against his former team Tuesday in the bottom of the third inning. This one was a 431-foot shot off Paolo Espino that wasn't far off from landing in the third deck in right field, territory that only Ryan Howard (x2) has visited: https://twitter.com/PhilliesNation/status/1544469265432002561 Elsewhere, Nick Castellanos drove in two runs, while both Alec Bohm and J.T. Realmuto had three RBIs on the evening. Realmuto's two-run home run in the home half of the fifth was his second blast in as many games: https://twitter.com/PhilliesNation/status/1544484914644389889 With the win, the Phillies improve to 43-38. Meanwhile, the lowly Nationals drop to 29-54, and are increasingly in the race for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. The Phillies have taken five of their first six matchups with the Nationals in 2022. The Phillies will look to clinch a series victory Wednesday evening, with All-Star candidate Aaron Nola slated to square off with Josiah Gray. Shibe Vintage SportsStarting Pitching Performance Paolo Espino lasted just 3 2/3 innings for the Nationals in the series opener, allowing six hits and four earned runs. He gave up both home runs hit by Schwarber. On the season, the 35-year-old now has a 3.33 ERA. Cristopher Sánchez -- making a spot start with Ranger Suárez on the injured list -- was excellent Tuesday, allowing just two hits over five shutout innings.
