Desmond Lifts Nationals To 7-2 Win Over Rockies

DENVER (AP) — Ian Desmond tied a career high with five hits, including a two-run homer, and Doug Fister threw effectively into the sixth to help the Washington Nationals beat the sinking Colorado Rockies 7-2 on Monday night. The 6-foot-8 Fister (9-2) — all "elbows and knees" as Charlie Blackmon described him — allowed nine hits before being pulled with two outs in the sixth after running into trouble. Desmond had four singles — including one off the arm of reliever LaTroy Hawkins in the ninth — to go with his 17th homer of the season. Franklin Morales (5-5) surrendered four runs — three earned — in six innings. Ben Paulsen had two hits and drove in a run in his major league debut for the Rockies, who've lost six straight.Read more on NewsOK.com
