Washington Nationals hit four consecutive home runs in 5-2 win over San Diego Padres

With the score tied at 1-1 in the top of the eighth on Sunday afternoon in San Diego, Howie Kendrick hit a 2-2 curve from Padres’ reliever Craig Stammen out to left-center for a homer that put Washington up by a run. Trea Turner hit a 1-0 sinker out to center in the next at bat. Adam Eaton did the same. 1-1 sinker. Gone. Anthony Rendon, hitless in three at bats at that point, with a 24-game on-base streak on the line, hit an 0-1 sinker out to center field for the fourth consecutive home run off Stammen.
