(MLB.com Washington Nationals)

Bryce Harper launched his National League-leading 19th homer of the season in the 4th inning and the Nats put up four runs in the 2nd to defeat the Giants. Starter Gio Gonzalez went just 3 1/3 innings in his shortest start of the season, but Matt Adams led the charge in that big frame with a two-run double, and Anthony Rendon added his second RBI of the game. San Francisco starter Dereck Rodriguez also struggled, lasting 2 2/3 innings, though Ty Blach delivered 3 1/3 strong frames in relief. Nick Hundley drove in four for the Giants, including a three-run homer in the 3rd. Sean Doolittle closed out the victory for Washington with his 16th save.
