The Washington Nationals’ 7-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Nationals Park on Friday, June 14th featured major contributions from players accustomed to doing the heavy lifting for the Nats. Ace starting pitcher Max Scherzer was on his game once again, allowing the Diamondbacks only two runs on three hits over seven innings pitched while striking out 10 as he earned his fifth win of the year.
Anthony Rendon and Howie Kendrick continued their hot hitting ways, as both players homered in the bottom of the sixth to give Washington and Scherzer some breathing room.
