PHOENIX (AP) --- The Washington Nationals had their first 11 batters reach base
during a 10-run first inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night.
The Nationals scored nine runs before the D-backs got an out, which is the
second-most in the big leagues since 1961. The Boston Red Sox scored 10 runs
before the Florida Marlins got an out in a game on June 27, 2003, according to
Elias Sports.
Luis Garcia Jr. had a double, fielder's choice and three RBIs as the Nationals
sent 15 batters to the plate. It took the Diamondbacks 30 minutes to get three
outs.
Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt was pulled after the first eight batters reached
base. He gave up eight earned runs and his ERA jumped from 3.90 to 5.05.
The reeling Diamondbacks have lost eight of their past nine games. Washington
has won 10 of its past 14 and scored at least nine runs in each of the past
four games.
Washington led 11-0 after two innings.
