Rosario powers the Nationals to an 11-6 win over the Reds
CINCINNATI (AP) --- Amed Rosario homered and drove in four runs to propel the
Washington Nationals to an 11-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday
night.
Rosario, who hit a two-out RBI double in the fourth inning off Reds starter
Nick Lodolo (3-3) to tie it at 3, connected on a three-run shot for his second
homer this season to put the Nationals up 6-3 in the sixth.
James Wood followed with his fourth hit, stole second and scored on Nathaniel
Lowe's single, which ended Lodolo's outing. Jacob Young added a sacrifice fly
to make it 8-3, and Riley Adams had a two-run single in the eighth off Brent
Suter.
Alex Call's RBI single and a sacrifice fly by Luis Garca Jr. put the Nationals
up 2-0 in the first.
Spencer Steer's two-run double off Trevor Williams tied it after one.
Tyler Callihan --- who went 0 for 3 in his debut on Wednesday --- had an RBI
single in the second to put Cincinnati up 3-2.
Williams (2-3) allowed nine hits in 5 1/3 innings, leaving with a 7-4 lead
after Jake Fraley hit a solo homer. Andrew Chafin came in to get the final two
outs of the sixth before Jose A. Ferrer, Jackson Rutledge and Eduardo Salazar
closed it out.
Lodolo gave up seven runs --- six earned --- and 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings.
The start was delayed by rain for 20 minutes.
Key moment Williams gave up the go-ahead run in the second but escaped further damage when he came back from a 3-0 count to strike out Elly De La Cruz with two runners aboard. Key stat Nationals pitchers have walked 124 batters --- third-most in the NL. Reds pitchers have allowed a league-high 44 home runs. Up next LHP MacKenzie Gore (2-3, 3.51 ERA) starts Sunday's series finale for the Nationals. The Reds counter with RHP Nick Martinez (1-3, 4.68). ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
