Beekhuizen Rips 2 Home Runs in 9-8 Nationals Triumph
In a high-scoring contest between Washington and Texas, catcher Gerwin Beekhuizen was a difference-maker. Beekhuizen distinguished himself in the 9-8 Washington win. He hit 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. The winning pitcher was Nick Palmer. He tossed 92 pitches over 5.1 innings, allowing 5 runs on 11 hits. Washington has now won 9 in a row.

With Washington trailing 5-2 in the top of the sixth, Beekhuizen hit a fastball from Montes Galli for a grand slam home run. It was his 14th home run of the season and put the Nationals ahead, 6-5.

"This game is about whoever is putting up more runs," said Nationals manager Doug Graff. "Simple as that."
