Coming off a tough loss, the Philadelphia Phillies will look to open their next series on a positive note when they host the Washington Nationals on Friday.

The Phillies blew a late lead and fell 6-5 to the visiting New York Mets in 11 innings on Thursday. However, Philadelphia still took three of four in a pair of two-game series between the teams to start the week.
