PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Cristopher Sanchez became the first 15-game winner in the
majors this season, Bryson Stott had two of Philadelphia's eight doubles and
the Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 7-3 on Thursday night for their
fifth victory in six games.
Sanchez (15-4) allowed two runs on six hits in five innings for his fifth
consecutive victory.
Nationals starter Miles Mikolas (3-9) gave up six runs on 12 hits in five

Consecutive RBI doubles by Phillies newcomer Luis Arraez and Alec Bohm forged a
