WASHINGTON (AP) --- Mitchell Parker pitched eight innings to combine on a
one-hitter, Nathaniel Lowe and Dylan Crews homered, and the Washington
Nationals defeated the Baltimore Orioles 7-0 in the opener of a three-game
series on Tuesday night.
James Wood had three hits on his bobblehead night and scored twice for
Washington, which won for the third time in four games. Keibert Ruiz and Jos
Tena also had three-hit outings for the Nationals.
Playing for the first time since Sunday's 24-2 loss to Cincinnati, Baltimore
didn't get a runner past second base until the ninth inning. Cedric Mullins
accounted for the Orioles' lone hit with a one-out single in the third, and
Baltimore was shut out for the third time this season.
Parker (3-1) struck out four and walked two while setting down his last 17
batters and lowering his ERA to 1.39. It was the longest outing of the
left-hander's 34-start big league career.
Colin Poche and Cole Henry finished.
Lowe hit a two-run homer off Dean Kremer (2-3) in the first. Tena tripled in
the second and scored on Kremer's wild pitch to make it 3-0, and the Nationals
added RBI singles by Luis Garca Jr. and Ruiz in the fifth.
Crews led off the sixth with a home run, and Ruiz poked an RBI double in the
seventh.
Kremer allowed six runs and 11 hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Key moment
Lowe's home run on Kremer's sixth pitch provided Washington a lead that
Baltimore never threatened.
Key stat
Kremer gave up six runs --- five earned --- raising the season ERA of Orioles
starters to a majors-worst 6.22.
Up next
Baltimore RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (2-1, 3.43 ERA) faces Washington RHP Trevor
Williams (1-2, 5.95) on Wednesday night.
