"It's what you yearn for," Baker said of the near-perfect trip, with Monday's 8-4 loss to the Rockies the only blemish. "You know you're going to score a lot of runs here, but I didn't have any idea we were going to score that many runs."
The 11-run seventh epitomizes the Nats' offensive character this season. It started with an Adam Eaton leadoff double, his second hit of the day after a solo homer to center in the fifth put Washington ahead to stay. The Nats sent a team-high 15 batters to the plate and scored a franchise-record 11 runs on eight hits and three walks.
