**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
On June 6, the Washington Nationals really brought the heat last night, dropping 14 runs on the Arizona Diamondbacks. They absolutely crushed it with six home runs, tying their season high. This win was a big deal, especially after they struggled against the Marlins earlier. Foster Griffin was on the mound, looking sharp and improving his record to seven wins and two losses. He pitched five solid innings, giving up only two hits and striking out four.
It's looking like he's definitely a contender for Rookie of the Year.
The home run barrage started early. Luis Garcia went deep twice and James Wood hit one out for his 17th of the season, which puts him in the lead in the National League. Daylen Lile also got in on the action with a homer, and Jorbit Vivas chipped in with a double. Things got even crazier in the sixth inning. Luis Garcia Jr. hit his second homer of the night, a grand slam, and CJ Abrams followed up with his 13th of the season. They even added another run in the eighth, when Dylan Crews got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. So, the Nationals are looking good, and they'll try to keep this momentum going today. They're aiming to get back above the 500 mark in the series. That's the story for today.
