Amed Rosario had three hits, including a tie-breaking three-run homer in the sixth, to help the visiting Washington Nationals claim an 11-6 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night.

James Wood had four hits and scored twice, Nathaniel Lowe delivered three hits, two RBIs and a run and CJ Abrams had two hits and scored three times for the Nationals, who had lost four of five.

Nationals right-hander Trevor Williams (2-3) allowed four runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings, striking out four and walking two.

Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (3-3) allowed seven runs (six earned) and 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out four and walked two.

Santiago Espinal had three hits, Spencer Steer had two hits and two RBIs and Jake Fraley homered and scored twice for Cincinnati, which had won two in a row.

Abrams led off the game with a single to extend his hitting streak to nine games and scored on an Alex Call single to give the Nationals a 1-0 lead. Luis Garcia Jr. followed with a sacrifice fly to make it 2-0.

The Reds tied it in their half of the first when Steer delivered a two-out, two-run double to left.

Tyler Callihan gave the Reds a 3-2 lead with an RBI single up the middle in the second - his first major-league hit and RBI -- but the Nationals tied it 3-3 in the fourth when Jacob Young scored on Rosario's two-out double into the left-center gap.

Rosario came up again in the sixth with runners on second and third and one out and blasted a three-run homer to left for a 6-3 lead. The Nationals padded their lead in the inning with Lowe's RBI single.

Fraley homered leading off the sixth to cut it to 7-4, but the Nationals got the run back on Young's successful squeeze bunt. Riley Adams delivered a two-out, two-run single in the eighth to extend the lead to 10-4.

Rosario was unable to catch a pop fly from pinch-hitter Noelvi Marte in the eighth, which allowed a run to score and cut it to 10-5, but the Nationals got the run back in the ninth on another Lowe RBI single. De La Cruz made it 11-6 with an RBI double in the ninth.
