García, Ruiz, Rosario homer, Nationals beat Seattle 6-1 for Mariners' 3rd loss in row

Luis García Jr. hit a three-run homer, MacKenzie Gore pitched a season-high seven innings and the Washington Nationals beat the Seattle Mariners 6-1 on Friday night. Keibert Ruiz added a two-run homer and a single, and Eddie Rosario hit a solo shot for the Nationals, who had lost seven of eight. “We got to get the ball in the zone and take good aggressive swings,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. J.P. Crawford homered leading off a game for the 10th time in his big league career and singled for the Mariners, who tied their longest losing streak this season at three.
