Daylen Lile hit an RBI single in the ninth inning and then scored the go-ahead run on a throwing error, lifting the visiting Washington Nationals to a 5-4 win against the Philadelphia Phillies in the opener of a three-game series on Friday.

The Nationals scored twice in the ninth off Phillies closer Jhoan Duran (6-5), who had not allowed a runner to reach second base in seven previous appearances since being acquired from Minnesota on July 30.
