The Nationals’ home run celebrations reached a new level Tuesday night.
A pair of long balls in the fourth inning fueled a 3-1 victory at home against the Cincinnati Reds.
The Nationals are now 64-55 and began the night six games back of first-place Atlanta in the National League East. However, the Nationals were in the lead in the wild card race.
Nationals left fielder Juan Soto (ankle) and second baseman Brian Dozier (salmonella), who both missed Monday’s game with various ailments, hit solo homers against Reds lefty Alex Wood in the fourth to give Washington a 3-0 lead.
