But after Foltynewicz doubled to lead off the fifth and Erick Aybar singled with one out, Freeman smacked his 22nd home run.Hes a really good hitter so its kind of been a back and forth for years now and I just got to do a better job of hitting my spots with him, Strasburg said. Didnt do that tonight and he beat me on it.Strasburg left trailing 5-3 with a man on base in the sixth, and Recker hit reliever Matt Belisles first pitch deep to left for his first homer this season. Washington would not get any closer than three runs.Anthony Rendon hit his 14th homer for the Nationals, who remained 7 1/2 games ahead of Miami in the NL East.WERTH EXTENDS ON-BASE STREAKNationals LF Jayson Werths RBI double in the seventh inning extended his streak of reaching base safely to 41 games.
