Luis Arraez, Jurickson Profar hit back-to-back homers as Padres blank Nats 4-0
WASHINGTON (AP) - Luis Arraez and Jurickson Profar homered on consecutive pitches in the fifth inning, and the San Diego Padres blanked the Washington Nationals 4-0 on Tuesday night.
Randy Vásquez pitched six innings to earn his first victory since June 22 for San Diego, which has won three in a row.
Washington, which had won five of six, is 0-4 against the Padres this season. The Nationals were shut out for the 11th time.
Nationals starter DJ Herz (1-4), recalled from Triple-A Rochester earlier in the day, breezed through three innings, then escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fourth. He retired the first two batters in the fifth before facing the top of the lineup for the third time.
