The Nationals looked like they might win in the early going. Rendon drove in a run in the first, and another in the 5th on a solo HR to left, but the Yankees seem to find ways to claw their way back into games.

In the top of the 6th, Brett Gardner hit a 2-run home run to right to tie the game.

In the 7th, the Yankees would go up 3-2 when Chase Headley doubled home Mark Teixeira, but the real damage came in the 8th.

The Yankees batted around in the 8th inning when the first six batters in the inning successfully reached base. With the bases loaded, Didi Gregorius cleared the bases with a double into the gap in right center. With the Yanks now up 6-2, Ellsbury singled to put runners on the corners. Mark Teixeira put the game out of reach with a 3-run homer.

Starter Nathan Eovaldi struggled a bit, allowing 6 hits, 5 walks and 2 runs in 5 innings and an unimpressive 103 pitches. The Yankee bullpen continued to excel, allowing just 3 hits and a run in 4 innings of work.

With the win the Yankees improve to 29-11. The Nationals fall to 19-21.
