Wire Taps: Washington Nationals’ Kyle Schwarber hits two more home runs; Cade Cavalli strikes out 11; more Nats news...

Kyle Schwarber hit his fifth first-at-bat-of-the-game-for-the-Nationals leadoff home run in last night’s game, then hit a three-run home run the 2nd time up, connecting on his 12th home run in the last 12 games and 21st home run of the season. It’s, I mean, it’s just, it’s — who knows what to make of it at this point, just enjoy the ride.

“I feel like it’s almost a joke at this point,” Joe Ross said after tossing seven scoreless in last night’s win. “And you know, obviously today it’s not just the first inning homer but the big two-out homer in the third I think, guy’s just on fire right now and hopefully he can keep it going.
