The Nationals beat the Colorado Rockies 7:1 on Wednesday in a regular-season MLB game. The result ended a two-game winning streak for the visitors who had taken the previous two meetings of this series.
Colorado had won 13:1 and 3:1 on Tuesday and Monday respectively. The Nationals responded with a dominant performance at home, outscoring their opponents by six runs.
The teams had traded victories through the weekend. On Monday the Rockies won 13:3, but lost the next two games before Wednesday's result swung the series back in favour of the home side.
The Rockies also dropped two games to Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday, making this a difficult stretch for the visiting club. The Nationals meanwhile bounced back from losses to the Marlins earlier in the week.
The victory gives the Nationals the upper hand in this four-game series. The Rockies now face a deficit after three consecutive losses, having won five of their last eight games before this setback.
