Regularly scheduled games are on for Tuesday and Thursday at 7:05 p.m. The Phillies make their third and final trip to Washington in late September. Both teams were involved in blowouts Sunday. Washington's Matt Adams, who avoided a trip to the injured list on the last road trip, hit two homers and drove in a career-high seven RBIs as the Nationals won 15-5 over Arizona. The Phillies lost 15-1 in Atlanta to the Braves.

Bryce Harper, who signed as a free agent with Philadelphia from Washington, will be making his second trip to the nation's capital as a visiting player. Harper was 5-for-7 in two games at Washington in April, with a double, homer and three RBIs.
