SAN FRANCISCO -- It all felt pretty strange for Blake Snell.

No spring training with his new team to work out the kinks. Finally facing major league hitters for the first time in April. He couldn't wait to get back out there.

But Lane Thomas drove in three runs, and Washington spoiled Snell's San Francisco debut, beating the Giants 8-1 on Monday night in the opener of the Nationals' weeklong stay in the Bay Area.
