DENVER (AP) — Alex Call and Jeimer Candelario hit back-to-back homers to start the game, CJ Abrams hit three runs with a pair of triples and the Washington Nationals beat the Colorado Rockies 10-5 on Friday night.
MacKenzie Gore put in another strong performance and has now earned both national championship wins this season. The scatter southpaw allowed two runs in six innings.
Call set the tone at the nationals on a night the team had 19 hits.
Rockies starter José Ureña never found his groove and lasted only 2 2/3 innings. The right-hander allowed six runs, four earned and seven hits.
