Considering they were strangers to the nation’s capital, the Detroit Tigers sure made themselves at home.
The Tigers scored more than 10 runs per game in their first visit to RFK Stadium in 36 years. They wrapped up their three-game series Wednesday by pounding the Washington Nationals pitching staff yet again, winning 8-4 to give Jeremy Bonderman his eighth straight victory.
Detroit exploded for five runs in the sixth against Washington’s bullpen. Carlos Guillen had two hits, including a fourth-inning golf-swing home run that bounced on the top of the left field wall. Guillen (6-for-12) was one of four Tigers to bat .500 or better in the series, and he and Ordonez each have eight-game hitting streaks.
