Diamondbacks batters feast in series opener, top Nationals

By the Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Andrew Young delivered a grand slam for his first hit of the season to cap Arizona's 10-run outburst in just two innings against Washington starter Patrick Corbin, and the Diamondbacks went on to beat the struggling Nationals 11-6 on a windy, chilly Thursday night.

An announced crowd of 6,666 booed as Washington dropped to 3-7. The Nationals, who dealt with a COVID-19 outbreak earlier this month, have yet to win consecutive games.

Corbin, a left-hander in the third season of a six-year, $140 million contract, was such a key cog in Washington's run to the 2019 World Series championship, doing double duty in the rotation and in relief.
