Nats win slugfest, magic number for crown at 3

WASHINGTON -- Michael A. Taylor showed off his variety of tools during a spectacular Friday night at Nationals Park, as he had four hits and five RBIs, including an inside-the-park grand slam and an outfield assist to help carry the Nationals to an 11-10 victory over the Phillies.

Taylor's career night began in the third inning when he hit a line drive to center field off right-hander Jake Thompson. The hit was misplayed by Odubel Herrera, giving Taylor the opportunity to race around the bases for the first Nationals inside-the-park grand slam since 2015 and a curtain call for his efforts.
