Roger Bernadina, Wilson Ramos and Laynce Nix also homered for the Nationals, who recorded a season-high 19 hits after being shut out in consecutive games. The six homers also set a Nationals record.

Espinosa hit a three-run shot in the second, an RBI triple in the fourth and singled in a run in the fifth, falling a double shy of becoming the third Nationals player to hit for the cycle.
