Washington eclipsed 10 runs for the first time during an 11-4 rout of the scuffling Marlins.
MIAMI — The ball hung in the air for five seconds and Jesse Winker stood still for every single one, creating the portrait of a man — and a team — that needed every bit of the ball he just got.
Winker, whose presence in Washington has been as much about his resurgence as it has been about his role as a veteran leader in a new clubhouse, played both roles perfectly Saturday. He only stalked his slam for about half of its 391-foot flight before turning his attention to Nick Senzel, who began his trot home from third base. Once Winker crossed home plate to put the Nationals up 6-1, he turned his attention to a forceful high-five with Jacob Young and a custom handshake with CJ Abrams.
