The Washington Nationals collected 19 hits on the way to a 16-8 win over Milwaukee yesterday.

The Nationals hit 8 homers on the afternoon, including 2 each from Juan Soto and Brian Dozier. The Nats, who tied a franchise record for most runs scored in 2 consecutive games, head to Pittsburgh for a 4-game series with the Pirates. Air time tonight

At the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa., the South Riding All-Stars from nearby Loudoun County crushed Minnesota yesterday 11-0. The game was called in the 4th inning due to the mercy rule, as South Riding pitchers threw their second consecutive combined no-hitter. The Virginia representative remains undefeated in the double-elimination tournament.
