WASHINGTON (AP) — Matt Wieters homered, Tanner Roark went seven innings to win his third straight start and the Washington Nationals defeated the Reds 2-1.
The Nationals took three of four from the Reds and have won eight of 11 overall.
Roark (6-12) allowed a run on seven singles. He got a nice ovation when he made a diving stop on Billy Hamilton’s comeback to end the seventh.
