Shinnosuke Ogasawara
(1-1) earned his first major league win by striking out Kyle Schwarber with a runner aboard to end the seventh. Rookie
Cole Henry
secured his first career save, striking out Turner with the tying run 90 feet away in the ninth.
Turner had three infield hits and scored once for the NL East-leading Phillies, but the offense stalled, leaving eight runners on base and extending their losing streak to three games.
Schwarber's RBI double in the fifth briefly gave Philadelphia a 2-1 lead. Luzardo allowed three runs on four hits over six-plus innings.
Washington starter
Brad Lord
was steady, giving up two runs on seven hits in six innings. Since rejoining the rotation on July 22, he's posted a 2.77 ERA with the Nationals winning four of his five starts.
The Phillies' travel delays - caused by a plane change and overnight stay in Cincinnati - had them arriving in Washington just hours before first pitch.

Tomoyuki Sugano earns 10th victory as Orioles outlast Mariners 5-3 after long rain delay
BALTIMORE — Rookie Tomoyuki Sugano earned his 10th victory by working 5 1/3 sharp innings before a lengthy rain delay, and the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Seattle Mariners 5-3 on Thursday. Tomoyuki Sugano earns 10th victory as Orioles outlast Mariners 5-3 after long rain delay Julio Rodríguez homered for Seattle, which has dropped consecutive games since winning eight in a row. The Mariners fell 1 1/2 games behind AL West-leading Houston. Catcher Cal Raleigh, who leads the majors with 45 home runs, was out of Seattle's starting lineup for only the fifth time this season. He walked as pinch-hitter in the ninth. Sugano won back-to-back starts for the first time. The 35-year-old from Japan threw 81 pitches and was pulled after the 2-hour, 18-minute delay. Rodriguez hit reliever Rico Garcia's fourth pitch after play resumed into the bleachers in right-center, a two-run shot to bring the Mariners within 5-2. Dietrich Enns allowed Randy Arozarena's one-out RBI grounder in the ninth, but retired Josh Naylor on one pitch to earn his first save since Sept. 20, 2021. The Orioles took the lead against Logan Evans in the fourth inning. Jordan Westburg scored on Evans' two-out wild pitch, and Ryan Mountcastle moved from first to third on the same play when Evans couldn't field catcher Mitch Garver's throw. After Daniel Johnson walked, Mountcastle scored when he and Johnson executed a double steal. Johnson came around on Jeremiah Jackson's RBI single. Baltimore added Gunnar Henderson's RBI double and Mountcastle's sacrifice fly in the fifth. Evans allowed three runs - two earned - in four innings and matched the shortest outing of his 15-start career. Orioles reliever Keegan Akin got Naylor to ground out to second to end the seventh, stranding two runners and preserving a 5-2 lead. Sugano is 3-0 with a 2.31 ERA in his last four starts. Mariners RHP Luis Castillo starts the opener of a three-game series against the host New York Mets. Baltimore has not announced its pitching plans for Friday's game at Houston.
