Washington's outburst started at the expense of Reds starter Homer Bailey, who was pulverized for eight runs and recorded just five outs in his 2017 debut. This was Cincinnati's fourth consecutive loss and 13th in their last 14 games.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Forgettable '17 debut for Bailey: Bailey's first start of the year after undergoing elbow surgery in February was largely a disaster. The Nationals jumped on him from the start, with a two-run double by Ryan Zimmerman in the first, and even further during a six-run second inning.
