WASHINGTON (AP) — James Wood homered twice and matched a career high with five RBIs, leading the Washington Nationals over the Dodgers 8-2 on Tuesday night for their fourth consecutive victory and their first home series win over Los Angeles since 2014.

Los Angeles lost four of five following an 8-0 start. Shohei Ohtani was 1 for 5 with a ninth-inning single.

Wood hit a two-run homer off Justin Wrobleski (0-1) in the first, drew a bases-loaded walk in a three-run second and hit another two-run shot in the fourth for an 8-0 lead.
