Nationals 2B Daniel Murphy homered twice, tormenting his former team yet again...
Murphy homered off Logan Verrett (3-5) in the second for a 1-0 lead and golfed a two-run drive in the eighth against reliever Sean Gilmartin. The second baseman matched his career high with 14 homers as Washington won its fourth in a row.
"He's doing the damage against everybody," Terry Collins said. "We've just got to make better pitches. You can't miss on the inner half of the plate to Dan Murphy right now."
