Nationals Smash Two HRs Twice | Washington Nationals News

Luis García Junior and Daylen Lile each blasted two homers, José Tena added another bomb, and Foster Griffin pitched five innings allowing just one run as the Nationals crushed the Pirates 9-5 in a scorching 100-degree showdown. García launched his 17th homer in the first, Lile followed with a two-run shot in the second, and both added more fireworks later — García with a two-run blast in the seventh and Lile with his second homer in the eighth. Tena’s two-run homer came after a James Wood triple, and despite a late Pirates rally with back-to-back RBI doubles in the ninth, Washington held on. Griffin’s ninth win keeps him hot on the mound, and the Nationals are riding a five-game win streak heading into tomorrow’s rematch with Zack Littell on the hill.
