Loss to Dodgers Extends Washington Losing Streak
Lirak Bazhunaishvili was instrumental in his team's 4-3 triumph over the Washington Nationals. The right fielder went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Los Angeles reliever Mike Zimmerly got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Jamie Verberkmoes was tagged with the loss. Nick Harmon recorded the save for Los Angeles, his 2nd of the season.

Bazhunaishvili had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 1-0 fastball from Jamie Verberkmoes, he banged a solo home run to center, giving the Dodgers a 4-3 lead. It was the 31st home run of the year for Bazhunaishvili.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Bazhunaishvili. "And not try to do too much."

The slumping Nationals have dropped 6 in a row.
