Red Sox host Nationals with their seasons slipping away

For all of their pronounced troubles this season, the Washington Nationals have reason to hold their heads up for their positive play on the road.

Washington looks to continue its modest success away from the nation's capital on Saturday night when they play the second contest of a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.

Juan Soto, Howie Kendrick and Josh Harrison each homered as the Nationals erupted for 16 hits in a 10-2 win in the series opener on Friday. Washington, which languishes in the cellar of the National League East, improved to 6-4 on the road after winning the opener of an 11-game trek.
