Danny Espinosa hit a three-run homer, and the Nats knocked out 12 hits against Cubs pitching in a 7-5 Washington win Friday night at Nationals Park.
Espinosa’s homer, his seventh of the season, staked the Nationals to an early 3-0 lead.
Anthony Rizzo homered twice for Chicago, his 10th and 11th of the season, off Washington starter Tanner Roark (2-2), and Jesus Montero hit a solo shot off Roark in the sixth.
Roark went five and two-thirds innings, giving up four runs on six hits, with six strikeouts without issuing a walk.
Drew Storen recorded his 18th save despite giving up a run on two hits in the ninth.
