Suzuki, Robles homer in 8th to lead Nationals past Phillies

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A comeback rally soothed some of the pain of more injuries for the Washington Nationals.

Kurt Suzuki and Victor Robles hit consecutive home runs in the eighth inning to rally the Nationals to a 10-8 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night.

It was just the third win in the last 10 for the Nationals, whose injuries continued to pile up.

Already without Ryan Zimmerman (foot), Anthony Rendon (elbow) and Trea Turner (finger), Washington placed left fielder Juan Soto (back) on the 10-day injured list prior to the game. And the Nationals suffered two injuries during the game, with first baseman Matt Adams jamming his left shoulder and center fielder Michael Taylor injuring his left wrist.
