Chaparro's 8 RBIs lead Nationals to 23-4 win, send Athletics to 10th straight loss

By TrendingWire Newsroom

Andrés Chaparro had a career night, going 4 for 5 with two home runs and eight RBIs, as the Washington Nationals routed the Oakland Athletics 23-4 on Friday. The win extended Oakland's losing streak to 10 games, matching a season high for the team. Chaparro's eight RBIs were the most by a Nationals player in a single game this season. He drove in runs with a two-run homer, a three-run blast, and a pair of singles. Curtis Mead also had a big game, collecting four hits and three RBIs to help Washington snap a three-game losing streak. The Nationals' 23 runs were their highest scoring total since they put up 25 against the New York Mets on July 31, 2018. They also scored 23 against the Mets on April 30, 2017. Washington improved to 49-49 with the victory, while the Athletics fell to 38-61. Oakland has now lost 10 consecutive games for the first time since 2015. The game was never close, as the Nationals scored seven runs in the first inning and added six more in the second. Chaparro's first home run came in the third inning, and his second in the seventh.
