Cubs 4, Nationals 2. The summary: After being held hitless the first time through the batting order, the Cubs responded Saturday with six hits in the next two innings and held on for a 4-2 win over the Nationals. The Cubs rallied after Wilson Ramos ripped a long home run to left center despite a strong gust in the second for the Nationals’ run.
At the plate: Dexter Fowler hit a single and scored the Cubs’ first run in the fourth, and he hit a two-out RBI double in the fifth. Jonathan Herrera added insurance with a two-out RBI single in the ninth.
