Nats Nightly

Washington Nationals' manager Dusty Baker said today's game would be a good test after a disappointing loss last night in Kansas City and his Nats came out and pounded the Royals in the series finale, winning 13-2 to take 2 of 3 in Kauffman Stadium. Stephen Strasburg put together a solid start, Bryce Harper, Ryan Zimmerman, Daniel Murphy and Wilson Ramos had multi-hit games and the Nationals as a team connected for 16 hits total in a big win that left them 19-8 on the year.
