SAN FRANCISCO — \u2014 Luis Garc\u00eda Jr. launched a two-run homer,\u00a0Jacob Young\u00a0scored a pivotal run on a wild pitch in the seventh inning and the\u00a0Washington Nationals\u00a0beat the\u00a0San Francisco Giants\u00a06-3 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James Wood\u00a0had three hits and Young added two as the Nationals secured a fifth consecutive road series win for the first time since 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jung Hoo Lee\u00a0singled and doubled with two RBI for the Giants to extend his hitting streak to 17 games, the longest active run in the majors.\u00a0Bryce Eldridge\u00a0added his third home run of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One day after scoring three times in the ninth to stun San Francisco in the series opener, the Nationals led the entire game following Garc\u00eda’s homer in the first inning. But they couldn\u2019t shake the Giants until a late surge in the seventh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Young started it with a leadoff single against\u00a0Erik Miller. Wood singled and pinch-hitter Andr\u00e9s Chapparo walked to load the bases before Miller threw a pitch that skipped past catcher\u00a0Daniel Susac. Young sprinted home and scored with a headfirst slide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daylen Lile\u00a0drew a bases-loaded walk and the Nationals held on for their 23rd road victory, tied with Atlanta for most in the majors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Giants loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh but failed to score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Washington reliever\u00a0Brad Lord\u00a0(4-0) retired eight batters to earn the win. Lord was the second of four relievers used by manager Blake Butera after starter\u00a0Andrew Alvarez\u00a0allowed two runs and five hits with five walks in four innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winless in five home starts this season, Giants right-hander\u00a0Adrian Houser\u00a0(2-6) yielded four runs and three hits in 4 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
