Aranda Hits 2 home runs in Nationals Win
Jonathan Aranda was a major factor in the 9-6 Washington win over Miami. The Nationals first baseman was 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and a double. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. Washington reliever Michael Lorenzen snagged the win, upping his record to 3-4. Luis Ortiz shouldered the loss. Picking up the save was Griffin Jax. He's now 25 for 28 in save chances.

Washington used the timely hitting of Mike Tauchman to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Nationals on top, 9-6. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"The boys were really swinging the bats today," winning manager Shane S said.

With the win, Washington has a record of 69-76. Miami falls to 90-55.
