WASHINGTON (AP) — Curtis Mead and Luis Garcia Jr. homered, Foster Griffin pitched 7 1\/3 strong innings and the Nationals beat the Phillies 4-1 on Monday night in the opener of a four-game series between the division rivals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dylan Crews, James Wood and Keibert Ruiz each had a double and a single for Washington, which had lost three of four.<\/p>\n

Griffin (8-2) gave up a run on four hits and struck out nine without a walk. He has gone five or more innings and allowed one earned run in each of his past four starts.<\/p>\n

Clayton Beeter pitched the ninth for his sixth save.<\/p>\n

Brandon Marsh homered for Philadelphia, which had won two straight and four of six.<\/p>\n

The start of the game was delayed one hour and 32 minutes by rain.<\/p>\n

Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, who went a combined 12 for 17 over their past two games with six homers (four by Schwarber) went 2 for 8 with Harper singling twice.<\/p>\n

Washington’s CJ Abrams saw his home run streak end at three games. Nasim Nuñez singled twice and has hit safely in eight straight games and reached base safely in a career-high 14 straight.<\/p>\n

Marsh’s homer in the seventh pulled the Phillies within 2-1, but Wood singled and Mead followed with a two-run shot in the bottom half.<\/p>\n

Wood doubled leading off the first against opener Tim Mayza and scored on a single by Crews.<\/p>\n

Garcia homered off Alan Rangel with one out in the second to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n

Mayza (2-2) allowed one run in one inning and bulk reliever Rangel, recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley, allowed a run on five hits over five innings.<\/p>\n
