Roundup: Reds Beat Nationals; No Derby for Bryce Harper

Eugenio Suarez hit a tiebreaking homer in the eighth inning, and the Cincinnati Reds ended the Washington Nationals’ nine-game home winning streak with a 3-2 victory.

Suarez went 3 for 4 with two R.B.I. to help the Reds stop a three-game skid. Aroldis Chapman got three outs — reaching 103 miles per hour on one fastball — for his 17th save.
