The Nats (19-8) scored six runs in the first off Kansas City starter Kris Medlen (1-3, 6.85 ERA). Medlen ended up going two-plus, giving up nine runs, six earned, on six hits.
Harper hit a two-run homer, his 10th of the season, and Daniel Murphy also homered for Washington on a 4-for-5 day at the plate that raised his batting average to .398.
Wilson Ramos had three hits and raised his average to .364 on the season.
