Following a 2-0 shutout win over the Cincinnati Reds on Opening Day, the Washington Nationals brought out the lumber Saturday afternoon to smack six extra-base hits and earn the club a 13-7 victory.
Four different Nationals left the yard including Adam Eaton, who reached base five times in as many plate appearances and finished a triple short of the cycle. The left fielder is now 6-for-8 on the season with five runs scored and three extra-base hits.
Nats manager Dave Martinez gave Ryan Zimmerman the day off, sliding Matt Adams into the cleanup spot behind Bryce Harper.
