Joey Wiemer tied a Major League record for most consecutive plate appearances reaching base to start a season with his 10th consecutive hit in Washington's 13-2 win over Philadelphia. The Nationals' rookie reached base in his first 10 plate appearances, matching Toronto's Carlos Delgado's 2002 mark. Wiemer's streak ended in the fifth inning when he grounded out, though his first hit was initially called out before being overturned on review.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson was ejected by umpire Marvin Hudson after arguing the overturned call should have ended the inning. Wiemer's performance came despite the Nationals' dominant offensive showing, with seven batters collecting multiple hits. The win extends Washington's lead in the NL East, though Wiemer's record-setting run ended abruptly in Monday's loss for Philadelphia.
