WASHINGTON (AP) — Joey Meneses' three-run homer highlighted a four-run eighth inning and the Washington Nationals rallied to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-5.
Meneses added a double and a single, finishing 3 for 4 with three RBIs and two runs scored in a game delayed at the start for nearly 90 minutes due to inclement weather and halted for 51 minutes by rain in the top of the seventh inning.
Stone Garrett hit a solo homer in the seventh inning for Washington.
Jose A. Ferrer (1-0) pitched 1 2/3 innings and earned his first major league victory, and Kyle Finnegan worked the ninth for his 14th save.
Ezequiel Tovar homered, and Elias Diaz had three hits and two RBIs for the Rockies.
