Alonso Homers Twice in 10-5 Nationals Win
Led by Yonder Alonso, the Washington Nationals downed the Chicago Cubs, 10-5. Alonso went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Nationals. The victory gives Washington a record of 22-15.

One of the stars of the game was Washington third baseman Evan Longoria. In the top of the third with two out, he got a changeup from Adam Wainwright and hit a 2-run double. That made the score 5-1 in favor of the Nationals.

"We're feeling good in this clubhouse right now after that one," Longoria told the Washington Herald.
