How to Watch Philadelphia Phillies at Nationals Saturday Doubleheader: TV Channel, Streaming Links

The Philadelphia Phillies take on the Washington Nationals in a doubleheader on Saturday. After a Friday win, the Phillies' magic number has fallen to five.

The Philadelphia Phillies finally snapped their five-game losing streak on Friday. Having fallen to just half a game ahead of the Milwaukee Brewers, that win could not have come at a more vital time.

Taking on the Washington Nationals while the the remnants of Hurricane Ian pound the nation's capital, the two clubs will attempt to play a split day/night doubleheader through the rain, though game one looks far more likely to be played than game two.

Kyle Gibson is scheduled to start the afternoon game. He boasts a 4.84 ERA over 161.2 innings in 30 starts this year. Last Sunday, his five inning, five-run clunker against the Atlanta Braves did nothing to aid the Phillies falling postseason woes. But facing the Nationals in 2022, he's thrown eight inning of one-run ball.

Noah Syndergaard is scheduled to start the night game. He hasn't made a start since Sept. 15 or pitched in a game since Sept. 21. On 10 days of rest, Syndergaard should be primed for one of his best performances.
