After a first-inning homer from Spencer Torkelson, lefty Dietrich Enns surrendered five runs in the bottom of the inning.

James Wood had a career-high five hits, including his 23rd home run, hours after being named to the Home Run Derby, Jake Irvin survived a rocky first to pitch six solid innings, and the Washington Nationals beat the Detroit Tigers 11-7 on Thursday night.

There aren’t many times teams deep in last place in their division, like the Washington Nationals (37-50), get to celebrate. Each win and major accomplishment for the rebuilding Nationals is a big plus.
