Winston-Salem, N.C. –– The Potomac Nationals’ bats awakened on getaway day in Winston-Salem and pounded out ten runs on nine hits to help the Nats salvage a 10-4 win at BB&T Ballpark. Paul Demny, who had received virtually no run support in his first five starts, finally got the backing of the Nationals’ offense and earned his first victory in the finale of a seven-game road trip.
Potomac (12-20), which had been held to 13 hits in the first two games combined, managed to put runs on the board early in the game without a lot of base hits. In the second inning, Andres Rienzo (1-1) walked the bases loaded with two outs. Eury Perez hit a ground ball to third that was booted by Jake Oester to get the Nationals on the board. Cutter Dykstra hit the next pitch into left field to push the Nats ahead 3-0.
