Harper homers in 11-run 7th, Turner, Nats rout Rockies 16-5

DENVER — The math is pretty simple for Dusty Baker: His big-hitting lineup plus Coors Field equals loads of runs.

"But I didn't have any idea we were going to score that many," the Washington manager said.

Bryce Harper hit a three-run homer as part of an 11-run seventh inning, Trea Turner enjoyed another big game at the hitter-friendly ballpark and the Nationals routed the Colorado Rockies 16-5 on Thursday.

Turner proved to be a pitcher's nightmare throughout the four-game series. He hit for the cycle on Tuesday, finished a triple shy of another cycle Wednesday and added a double and two singles in the finale.
