WASHINGTON (AP) — James Wood hit a two-run home run, rookie Daylen Lile drove in a run and scored another, and the Washington Nationals beat the Miami Marlins 5-2 on Tuesday night.
Lile hit a bloop double in the second and an RBI single in the third. Lile scored on Riley Adams’ double after his own double.
Adams scored on an opposite-field single from Jacob Young. Adams knocked the ball out of the glove of Marlins third baseman Connor Norby on a tag attempt to reach third base on the prior play.
In the fourth, Wood drove home Young with his 27th home run of the season.
Young was removed from the game in the top of the sixth inning with back spasms. He was replaced in center field by Robert Hassell III.
Adam Mazur (0-2) gave up 10 hits and five runs, but finished six innings for Miami.
