The Phillies will be at full strength Friday night as they try to scratch a few runs together against Max Scherzer and the Nationals.

Leftfielder Ben Revere returns to the lineup and will bat leadoff against Scherzer, who has surrendered one run or fewer in six of his eight starts so far this season.

Second baseman Chase Utley — who is hitting .333 over his last 12 games — will return to the three-hole after hitting second in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Rockies.
