Nats Nightly

The Washington Nationals pounded the Cincinnati Reds in the series opener in the nation's capital, scoring 13 runs in what ended up being a 13-4 win. Danny Espinosa hit a grand slam and a three-run home run to end an impressive month of June at the plate. Gio Gonzalez put together a solid start, and he got plenty of run support as the Nats rallied from an early deficit and kept piling on runs in their fifth straight win overall. Nationals now 48-32.
