Nationals' six‑homer outburst leads 10‑4 win over Reds

Washington struck six home runs in a 10‑4 victory over Cincinnati, marking the team's highest run total in a game this season. James Wood hit his 12th homer, while Luis García Jr. and Daylen Lile each homered twice, joining the only other Nationals pair to do so in the same game. The Nationals improved to 14‑9 on the road, the second‑best road record in the majors behind Atlanta.

Cincinnati starter Brady Singer was hit on the foot by a line drive but stayed in the game, allowing three homers and three earned runs over 3 2/3 innings. He left with a 5.79 ERA and 11 walks in nine starts. The Reds could not capitalize on scoring opportunities, and their offense went 1‑for‑12 with runners in scoring position.

Washington relief pitcher Brad Lord threw 2 2/3 scoreless innings, and the bullpen held the lead. The win set up a series continuation with left‑hander Nick Lodolo starting for Cincinnati on Wednesday.
