Nasim Nunez drove in four runs, including two in the top of the 10th inning, as the Washington Nationals beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Automatic runner James Wood scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in the top of the 10th before the Nationals tacked on three more runs against Jordan Leasure (2-1) on a walk with the bases loaded and a two-run single by Nunez.<\/p>\n
The White Sox could muster only one run in the bottom of the 10th off Brad Lord.<\/p>\n
Washington starter Jake Irvin allowed four hits, struck out nine and walked none. Cionel Perez (2-3) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win as the Nationals won for the first time in four games.<\/p>\n
Noah Schultz allowed two runs on four hits over six innings while striking out eight for the White Sox.<\/p>\n
Nunez hit a two-run, two-out single off Schultz in the fourth before the White Sox scored twice in the bottom of the eighth off Gus Varland to tie the score.<\/p>\n
The Nationals struck out four White Sox hitters in the sixth when catcher Keibert Ruiz dropped a third strike against Vargas, then threw wide of first base for an error. Irvin struck out the next two hitters before Mitchell Parker got pinch-hitter Tanner Murray swinging to end the inning.<\/p>\n
The attendance of 35,175 was the third-largest for the Sox this season and the largest for an April game that wasn’t a home opener since 2007.<\/p>\n
Earlier Saturday, the White Sox called up catcher Drew Romo from Triple-A Charlotte and designated catcher Reese McGuire for assignment. McGuire hit .172 in 11 games while backing up Edgar Quero during Kyle Teel’s absence with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n
The Nationals recalled Andres Chaparro from Triple-A Rochester and sent down pitcher Riley Cornelio. Chaparro started Saturday’s game at first base, batting third and going 0 for 3.<\/p>\n
