Nationals Absorb 7-4 Home Loss
Led by Max Muncy, the Toronto Blue Jays downed the Washington Nationals, 7-4. Muncy was 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Blue Jays. The win was credited to 29-year old left-handed pitcher Ben Bowden in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Brayan Bello took the loss. Earning his 1st save of the year was Erik Swanson.

Toronto used a clutch at-bat from Will Benson to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I like how we're playing right now," said Benson.

The first-place Blue Jays have won 5 in a row.
