The Philadelphia Phillies have a series coming up against the first-place New York Mets this weekend.
In the meantime, they are using a series against the rebuilding Washington Nationals to make up ground on the teetering National League East leaders.
Visiting Philadelphia goes for its third straight win against Washington, and fourth in a row overall, on Wednesday night when Phillies right-hander Chase Anderson (2-4, 6.75 ERA) opposes righty Paolo Espino (3-2, 3.08).
Anderson, 33, will start in place of Vince Velasquez, who was moved to the bullpen as part of a shakeup involving the back end of the rotation. Anderson worked in relief of Velasquez on Saturday at Pittsburgh, and he allowed two runs on three hits and two walks in four innings.
