WASHINGTON -- Danny Espinosa launched a pair of home runs, including a grand slam, and drove in seven runs to help pace an offensive outburst for the Nationals in a 13-4 victory against the Reds on Thursday night at Nationals Park. The 13 runs for Washington matched a season high and extending the club's winning streak to five games. Meanwhile, Cincinnati dropped its fourth game in a row and eighth in its last nine.
The Nats already led 4-1 in the third inning when Espinosa hammered his second career grand slam to left-center off Reds left-hander Brandon Finnegan.
