He slapped a one-base hit in the 1st inning, smashed a solo-shot out of the park in the 3rd inning and tripled plating two runs in the 8th inning. Washington banged out 14 hits on the night. Spahn(6-1), allowing 4 runs for the game, picked up the victory. Allie Reynolds(1-5) suffered the loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 11 hits and 4 walks in 5 innings.
