"Guys are in good moods in the clubhouse," Castellanos said. "We’re playing loose. We’re happy. If that translates to wins, I don’t know."

Washington managed one run in the first five innings, but Bell’s two-run homer into the right field bullpen in the sixth closed the gap to 5-3. Suárez yielded three runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings while striking out five.Adon, summoned as Washington’s 27th man for the doubleheader, allowed four runs and struck out six in five innings in his first start for the Nationals since June 7. He also extended his major league lead in losses; teammate Patrick Corbin ranks second with nine.
