Daylen Lile and Luis Garcia Jr. each collected three hits, including two home runs, leading the Washington Nationals to a 10-4 victory over the host Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night. 
Lile, a native of nearby Louisville, Kentucky, launched a solo homer in the fourth inning and a three-run blast in the fifth, marking his first career multi-home run game. Garcia added two solo shots, while James Wood and Brady House also went deep for Washington. 
Lile and Garcia became the sixth pair in Nationals history (since 2005) to each hit multiple homers in the same game, and the first since Brian Dozier and Juan Soto accomplished the feat on Aug. 18, 2019, in a 16-8 home win over the Brewers.
Washington right-hander Brad Lord (2-0) earned the win with 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. For the Reds, Sal Stewart recorded three hits, and JJ Bleday tallied two hits and two RBIs.
Cincinnati starter Brady Singer (2-3) remained in the game after taking a 100-plus mph grounder off his right leg from Lile in the second inning. He lasted 3 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits.
The Nationals jumped ahead 2-0 in the third when Wood homered to left-center, followed immediately by Garcia’s solo shot to right. Lile, supported by roughly 70 family members and friends, led off the fourth with another homer to right.
The Reds answered in the bottom of the fourth. Singles from Elly De La Cruz and Stewart, plus a walk to Bleday, loaded the bases against starter Miles Mikolas. Matt McLain grounded into a fielder’s choice to drive in a run. After Will Benson walked, Lord entered the game. Tyler Stephenson reached on a fielding error by third baseman House, allowing another run to score, trimming the deficit to 3-2.
Garcia homered again to lead off the fifth, making it 4-2. House walked and CJ Abrams singled, then Jacob Young grounded into a fielder’s choice before Lile crushed his second homer of the night to right, pushing the lead to 7-2.
In the eighth, Keibert Ruiz doubled, and House followed with a two-run homer. Jose Tena doubled in Nasim Nunez in the ninth to extend the lead to 10-2. Bleday capped the scoring with a two-run single in the bottom half.
