Eddie Rosario hits 2-run HR in 7th to help Nationals outlast Blue Jays 11-8

Eddie Rosario's two-run homer in the seventh inning broke an 8-8 tie and the Washington Nationals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 11-8 on Sunday. After Jesse Winker doubled against Genesis Cabrera (1-1) leading off, Erik Swanson came on and got two outs, but Rosario — who began the day hitting .096 — homered to right center to make it 10-8. “I needed it, as you can see based on the start I've had,” Rosario said through an interpreter. Luis Garcia, Jr. had four hits including a home run and drove in four runs, and Winker added a three-run homer for Washington, which took two of three from Toronto and had its 12th comeback win of the season.
