Daylen Lile homers as Nationals top Rockies 7-1 to split 4-game series
WASHINGTON -- Daylen Lile homered and drove in two runs as part of a three-hit day, and the Washington Nationals beat the Colorado Rockies 7-1 to split their four-game series Thursday.
Keibert Ruiz also went deep for Washington, which had dropped 12 of 15. The Nationals won a game started by a pitcher other than Cade Cavalli for the first time since Aug. 9.
Colorado fell to an NL-worst 52-82, clinching its eighth consecutive losing season. The Rockies were 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position and left 13 on base overall.
Lile led off the fifth inning with a drive to right off Gabriel Hughes (0-6) for his 18th home run this season . The left fielder was 8 for 15 with three homers and eight RBI in the series.
Tom Cosgrove (1-2) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief for his first win since his major league debut on April 29, 2023, a span of 89 appearances.
The Nationals scored twice in the first on Liles bloop RBI single and Brady Houses sacrifice fly.
Colorado loaded the bases on a hit batsman and two walks in the third against Jake Irvin before Brett Sullivans infield single pushed across a run.
Washington made it 3-1 when Dylan Crews bases-loaded grounder in the fourth barely left the dirt area around the plate but still gave Jacob Young time to score from third.
Ruiz capped a three-run eighth with a two-run shot into the Nationals bullpen in right off Jimmy Herget .
Hughes gave up four runs in five innings. He struck out three and yielded seven hits and four walks.
Irvin allowed a run on three hits and a career-high six walks in 4 1/3 innings while striking out six.
RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (12-7, 4.96 ERA) starts Friday as Colorados road trip continues in Atlanta.
Rookie LHP Jackson Kent (0-2, 8.03) makes his fourth start Friday as Washingtons homestand continues with the opener of a four-game series against Miami.
