Nationals 6, Reds 1

CINCINNATI (AP) — Washington powered its way to a 6-1 victory yesterday for a four-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds.

Ryan Zimmerman set the Nationals’ career home run record with a solo shot, and Bryce Harper connected again.

Zimmerman’s 235th career homer moved him ahead of Vladimir Guerrero for most in Expos and Nationals history.

Washington improved to a season-high 20 games over .500 with its ninth victory in 11 games.
