CJ Abrams set the tone by leading off the game with a home run, Washington scored six times in the seventh, and the Nationals broke a four-game losing streak Saturday afternoon with an 8-1 rout of the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Before leaving after seven innings, Abrams went 2-for-3 with his 13th home run, a double and a walk. He tallied two runs and two RBIs.
