The Nationals' bats provided plenty of offense, with Wilson Ramos, Stephen Drew and Danny Espinosa all going yard, and Daniel Murphy adding two doubles and three RBIs.

Daniel Murphy doubles to right field to score Ben Revere and Bryce Harper to put the Nationals up, 6-4, in the bottom of the 5th inning
Phillies starter Jeremy Hellickson lasted six innings, ceding seven runs on nine hits, including the three homers. The Philadelphia bullpen was unable to quiet Washington's lineup, as callup Luis Garcia gave up two more runs in the seventh.
Philadelphia got those runs back in the eighth on another two-run homer by Joseph, but Jonathan Papelbon closed the door for Washington in the ninth.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Back-to-back, again: The Nationals hit back-to-back homers for the third time this week when Ramos and Drew went deep in the fourth inning. That's the second time Drew took part in back-to-back homers this week -- he did it with Espinosa on Wednesday versus the White Sox.

Joseph continues to slug: Joseph has now homered four times in the past four games he's started. The right-handed Joseph homered off both right-handed Strasburg and left-handed Felipe Rivero on Friday, supporting the case that he should play every day, regardless of matchup. His batting average is up to .323, and he continues to wrest playing time from Ryan Howard.
Keep touching 'em all: The back-to-back homers were just part of a larger power display for the Nationals, who homered for the 14th consecutive game. They've homered in each game since the Mets shut them out on May 25.
Hellickson gets hit around: Friday marked a bump in the road for Hellickson, who had a 2.53 ERA in his previous five starts. The righty allowed three homers and two doubles over seven innings, consistently leaving pitches up in the zone for hitters to drive.
