San Diego Padres at Washington Nationals
Final
Recap
WASHINGTON -- Luis García Jr.'s two-run single highlighted a six-run seventh inning for the Washington Nationals as they rallied to a 9-4 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday. Washington hit only two balls out of the infield during its big inning, but the Nationals sent 10 men to the plate in a frame that included the first ejection for Padres rookie manager Craig Stammen. The first six Washington batters came around to score. Fernando Tatis Jr. finally hit his first homer of the season for San Diego, and Xander Bogaerts and Manny Machado also went deep to help the Padres build a 3-1 lead. Drew Millas homered in the third for Washington, and he was involved in perhaps the game's most important play in the seventh.
