Polanco Powers Nationals Offense
Jorge Polanco was a major factor in the 9-0 Washington win over Houston. The Nationals first baseman was 4-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. Brayan Bello, the winner, improved to 4-2. He held Houston to no runs on 4 hits over 6 innings, while racking up 10 strikeouts. The second-place Nationals now have a 4-game winning streak.

Polanco had a key at-bat for Washington early in the game. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a run-scoring double. It was his 10th double of the season and gave Washington an early 1-0 lead.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Polanco.
