James Wood had a career-high five hits, including his 23rd home run, hours after being named to the Home Run Derby, Jake Irvin survived a rocky first to pitch six solid innings, and the Washington Nationals beat the Detroit Tigers 11-7 on Thursday night.

A seventh-inning rally was for naught as the Tigers' bullpen gave up six runs in the eighth in a 9-4 loss to Washington.

The Nationals are favored (-111) in an expected tight game against the Tigers (-108). The matchup on the mound for this contest is set with the Washington Nationals looking to Trevor Williams (3-9), and Tyler Holton (3-3) getting the nod for the Detroit Tigers.
