Rookie James Wood's 3-run homer gives the Nationals a 5-2 win and a 3-game sweep of the Reds
WASHINGTON (AP) — James Wood hit a tiebreaking, three-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning, and the Washington Nationals completed a three-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds with a 5-2 victory on Sunday. Wood, a 21-year-old rookie and the Nationals’ top prospect, sent a first-pitch fastball from Justin Wilson 405 feet the opposite way to left field. His second homer since his debut on July 1 gave the Nationals their fifth win in six games. “Electric. He’s something special,” Nationals starter Jake Irvin said. “And I’m excited to be a part of it. Excited for him.” After general manager Mike Rizzo made clear on Friday that Washington is still in rebuilding mode, the Nationals (47-53) drew even in the wild-card standings with Cincinnati, which began the second half hoping to make a playoff push. The Reds have lost four straight and fell into last place in the NL Central.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jacob Young hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning, Lane Thomas bolstered his trade stock with a run-scoring double and the Washington Nationals rallied past the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 on Saturday night. Derek Law (6-2) pitched two scoreless innings on an outstanding night for the Nationals’ bullpen after MacKenzie Gore’s shortest start of the season. Washington (46-53) has taken two straight from Cincinnati (47-52), damaging the Reds’ hopes of remaining relevant in the NL playoff race. “That’s a good team over there. They’re in the hunt,” Law said. “It just goes to show that we should be in the hunt.” Ildemaro Vargas doubled leading off the eighth against Justin Wilson (1-2).
