Luis García Jr. went 3-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBIs as the Washington Nationals beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-4 to take the series. García Jr. slugged a two-run homer off Tyler Wells in the fifth, exit velocity 104.7 mph, 27 degree launch angle, projected 401 feet, and added a second long ball later that was confirmed after a replay. Zack Littell took the win, Kyle Bradish the loss and PJ Poulin recorded the save, finishing the final six outs. Washington pushed above .500 and closed the road series in Baltimore, with García Jr. now on a multi-homer hot streak that includes five homers over his last six games and at least 15 home runs this season. The game also featured a defensive miscue earlier when Coby Mayo bounced a throw on a potential inning-ending grounder that extended an inning and helped the Nationals build their lead.
