Turner, Adams power Nats over Giants 15-2, end 4-game skid

SAN FRANCISCO -- Washington manager Dave Martinez insisted Trea Turner and the Nationals would snap from their scoring slump soon, even as the losses piled up and the runs didn't.

Behind three-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer, Washington didn't need much, but got plenty.

Turner got five hits, Matt Adams homered and drove in six runs, and the Nationals broke out of their offensive funk in a big way, routing the San Francisco Giants 15-2 Wednesday to end a four-game losing streak.

"That was fun," Martinez said after his team dodged a three-game sweep.
