BOSTON — After two nightmarish games in Boston, the Washington Nationals put together their best all-around game of the season Wednesday, defeating the Red Sox, 10-5.
Gio Gonzalez was steady, the lineup scored runs in bushels off Boston starter Wade Miley and Rafael Martin was spectacular in his first big league appearance. The result was a much-needed win, and momentum as the Nationals headed back to D.C. for a four-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies.
THE RUNDOWN: Much like Monday’s series-opener, this one was all but over after three innings.
