Phillies power up in win over Nationals

Trea Turner hit two home runs in an eightrun eighth and the Philadelphia Phillies went deep five times on Saturday, rallying for a 12-3 win over the host Washington Nationals.

Turner, a former member of the Nationals, led off the eighth inning by sending Cory Abbott's 93-mph fastball into the seats in left. Abbott (1-2) allowed seven more runs, including a three-run homer by Stott that preceded Turner' second home run in the inning.

The Phillies tied it at 3 on Castellanos' threerun shot off Andrés Machado in the seventh.

Nationals starter Jake Irvin threw six shutout innings and struck out seven.

RED SOX 8, YANKEES 1 >> Luis Urias became the first Red Sox player to hit grand slams on consecutive pitches and the first in 80 years to hit slams in consecutive games in leading visiting Boston to a victory over fading New York, which lost its seventh in a row.

Urias cleared the bases in his last at-bat against Washington reliever Robert Garcia on Thursday night and the ninth-place hitter stunned Yankees ace Gerrit Cole in the second inning with a blast to left center.

Cole (10-4) allowed Urías' slam in the second inning and gave up a two-run drive to eighth-place hitter Connor Wong in the fourth.
