Philadelphia Phillies at Washington Nationals: Final Score & Recap

The Philadelphia Phillies handed the Washington Nationals a 10-5 defeat at Nationals Park on June 25, 2026, scoring in four separate innings to pull away convincingly on the road. Philadelphia staked an early advantage with four runs in the first inning and added single runs in the third, sixth, and seventh before capping the game with a five-run ninth. The DiamondIQ model entered the game with Washington holding a 48 percent home win probability, but that figure steadily eroded as the Phillies accumulated damage, ultimately reaching zero by the final out.

The decisive sequences came in the seventh and ninth innings. In the seventh, a Brandon Marsh walk off Clayton Beeter registered as the highest positive swing of that frame at plus-13.6 percent win probability, though a J.T. Realmuto groundout briefly reversed momentum at minus-12.3 percent before Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber drew back-to-back walks off Mitchell Parker, adding 12.1 and 11.8 percent respectively and extending the inning. The most impactful single play of the night came in the ninth, when Harper crushed a home run off Gus Varland that swung win probability by plus-35.1 percent, punctuating what was already a comfortable Philadelphia lead.

Harper finished as the game's top performer by a wide margin, accumulating plus-46.9 percent in combined win probability added and a RE24 of plus-3.0. Brandon Marsh contributed plus-21.1 percent WPA and a RE24 of plus-2.6, while Kyle Schwarber added plus-16.6 percent WPA. On the pitching side, Cade Cavalli led Philadelphia's staff at plus-15.8 percent WPA, with Orion Kerkering and José Alvarado contributing plus-10.9 and plus-8.3 percent respectively as the Phillies bullpen locked down the win.
