Nationals break out of scoring slump, beat Giants 4-2 behind Lord and Wood
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Brad Lord pitched six effective innings to earn his first career victory as a starter, and the Washington Nationals beat the San Francisco Giants 4-2 on Saturday. James Wood, Paul DeJong and Josh Bell homered for the Nationals, shut out in their previous two games. Wood's leadoff shot was his first homer in a month. Rafael Devers went deep for the second consecutive day and Dominic Smith doubled for the Giants to extend his hitting streak to 13 games, the longest active run in the majors. Lord (3-6), whose previous two wins came in relief, allowed one run and four hits. The 25-year-old rookie pitched around traffic much of the day in his third major league start and finished with five strikeouts and two walks. Konnor Pilkington retired three batters and Jose A. Ferrer got five outs for his second career save and first this season. Wood drove Carson Whisenhunt's third pitch over the center-field fence for his team-leading 25th home run and first since July 9. He added an RBI double that made it 4-0 in the sixth. DeJong and Bell connected for back-to-back homers off Whisenhunt in the third. Whisenhunt (1-1) allowed three runs and three hits in four innings. San Francisco's top pitching prospect had five strikeouts and three walks. Devers homered in the sixth and Wilmer Flores had a sacrifice fly in the eighth for the Giants. Key moment Ferrer struck out Matt Chapman swinging with two on to end the eighth. Key stat All three home runs off Whisenhunt came on sinkers, his most effective pitch this season. Up next Giants RHP Justin Verlander (1-8, 4.29 ERA) faces struggling All-Star MacKenzie Gore (4-12, 4.29) in the series finale Sunday. ___ AP MLB:

Harris and Waldrep lead Braves past Marlins 7-1 as female umpire makes history
ATLANTA (AP) — Michael Harris II hit a 3-run homer, rookie Hurston Waldrep threw six strong innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 7-1 Saturday in the first game of a doubleheader that featured some Major League Baseball history. Jen Pawol became the first female umpire in a Major League game, working first base. She is scheduled to be at third base in the second game of the doubleheader and behind home plate in the series finale Sunday. Waldrep (2-0), in just his second start this season, allowed four hits, one walk and one run. He struck out six. He has given up two runs in 11 2/3 innings in his two starts. Harris was 2 for 4 with a double, three RBIs and two runs scored. His three-run home run in the seventh inning was his 11th. Drake Baldwin was 2 for 4 with two RBIs. Ozzie Albies and Eli White had RBIs in the second inning that gave the Braves a 2-0 lead. Rookie Ryan Gusto (7-5) gave up three runs in six innings in his Marlins debut. He was acquired from the Astros on July 31. Xavier Edwards knocked in the lone Marlins run with a single in the sixth inning. Braves left fielder Jurickson Profar robbed Agustín Ramírez of a home run in the fourth inning with a leaping catch, reaching over the wall in front of the Marlins' bullpen. Waldrep put both hands on his head when he realized Profar made the catch. Key stat The Marlins started six rookies in the batting order, plus a rookie starting pitcher in Gusto. Up next For the second game of the split doubleheader, Marlins RHP Sandy Alcantara (6-10, 6.44) will face Braves newcomer Erick Fedde (3-12, 5.32). The right-hander will be making his third start for Atlanta since being acquired from the Cardinals. ___
