The Phillies picked up their first series win of the season this weekend against the Nationals. Here are a couple observations from the weekend.

The Phillies evened out their record to 3-3 after winning the last two games of their weekend series with the Nationals. Philadelphia lost the first game, 7-6, but won the last two by 17-3 and 4-3 scores.

Thanks to their two wins over the Nationals, the Phils have the tiebreaker over Washington and are just half a game back of the Marlins for first place in the National League East.

Philadelphia’s next game comes Monday night as they open a three-game home series with the New York Mets.

Now, here’s a look at several observations from the last two games of the series.
