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.

The Detroit Tigers allowed 15 hits and committed three errors in an 11-7 loss to the Washington Nationals on Thursday night at Nationals Park.

If there is such a thing as hitting the wall, the Tigers hit it at the end of Game 2 Wednesday night when the Nationals sent 10 batters to the plate in their final at-bat and scored six runs. The next time the Nationals came to bat, in the first inning Thursday, they sent nine batters to the plate, scored five runs and never really looked back.
