The Nats (6-8) look to close out an unlikely sweep on Sunday.

Gunnar Henderson homered for the second straight day, and Jeremiah Jackson was a triple short of a cycle in a 6-2 Baltimore win over San Francisco (6-9) on Saturday night.

The O’s (7-7) have now won four of five.

Chris Bassit needed 89 pitches to get to two outs in the fifth, so he didn’t qualify for the win, despite putting in his best start of the young season – 4.2 IP, two runs, one earned, on seven hits, with two Ks and one walk.

Five relievers combined to close out the game with 4.1 scoreless innings, holding the Giants to three hits.
