<\/p>\nWASHINGTON \u2014 CJ Abrams hit a grand slam with a career-high five RBIs, Drew Millas, Brady House and Jos\u00e9 Tena also homered and the Washington Nationals set their season high for runs in a 15-2 rout of the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Washington also established season highs with four home runs and 10 extra-base hits. The Nationals hit four homers in a four-inning span after hitting none in their previous four games.<\/p>\n
Miles Mikolas (1-3) gave up two runs and three hits in a season-high 5 1\/3 innings. Mitchell Parker and Zak Kent finished a three-hitter as Washington won for the fifth time in 18 home games this season. Kent made his Nationals debut, three days after he was claimed off waivers from the Twins.<\/p>\n
Abrams was 3 for 5 with two doubles and House had three RBIs. Millas’ homer, which put Washington ahead 3-2 in the fifth, was his first since off Colorado’s Dakota Hudson on June 21, 2024, at Coors field.<\/p>\n
Daylen Lile and Curtis Mead walked to load the base with one out in the eighth. Luis Garc\u00eda replaced Justin Topa and four pitches later, Abrams hit a 403-foot drive for his ninth home run this season. Tena’s solo drive capped the seven-run inning.<\/p>\n
Twins starter Bailey Ober (3-2) gave up five runs and six hits in five innings. The Twins allowed their most runs since a 17-6 defeat to Milwaukee last June 20.<\/p>\n
Matt Wallner had a solo homer and two RBIs for the Twins. <\/p>\n
