PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Nationals broke out of their offensive funk in a big way.
Juan Soto hit two of Washington’s seven home runs, finishing with four hits and five RBIs, and the Nationals routed the Philadelphia Phillies 17-7 on Friday night.
Anthony Rendon, Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, Brian Goodwin and Mark Reynolds also homered for the Nationals, who set a season high for homers. Washington hadn’t homered while losing its last three, getting outscored 16-3 in those defeats.
“We’re back,” Soto said.
Rendon added two doubles and three RBIs, and Harper also contributed three hits and three RBIs.
