Philadelphia's starting pitcher Sunday will be lefty Ranger Suarez (0-2, 7.13 ERA). It will be his fifth start of the season, with his best performance his most recent stint with 6 2/3 innings against the New York Mets on Tuesday. He allowed two runs.
Suarez holds a 5-0 record with 3.56 ERA in 11 career outings, four starts, against the Nationals.
Right-hander Trevor Williams (2-3, 3.93) gets the call for the Nationals. He has worked at least five innings in each of his past three starts but is 1-2 during that stretch. He issued three walks in both of his last two assignments after going his first nine outings without yielding more than two walks.
Williams is 0-2 with a 4.94 ERA in six all-time appearances, including four starts, against the Phillies. Last year pitching for the New York Mets, he faced the Phillies twice and didn't surrender a run in six innings.
