Dunn, Nationals rally to slam Orioles 8-5

Adam Dunn hit two home runs, including a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh inning, for a career-high six RBIs and the Washington Nationals rallied for an 8-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.

With Washington trailing 5-4, pinch-hitter Anderson Hernandez led off the seventh with a single against Chris Ray (0-1). Willie Harris singled, Cristian Guzman sacrificed and Ryan Zimmerman was intentionally walked to load the bases.

Jamie Walker relieved, and Dunn hit a drive into the Orioles' bullpen in left field for his 10th career grand slam. It was his 14th home run this season.

Ron Villone (2-0) worked a scoreless seventh for the victory. Joe Beimel pitched the eighth and Joel Hanrahan got the final three outs for his fifth save.

Zimmerman singled leading off the sixth, extending his streak of consecutive games reaching base safely to 42 — matching the franchise single-season mark established by Tim Raines for Montreal in 1986. The overall franchise record is 46, set by Montreal's Rusty Staub in 1969-70.

Adam Jones homered for the Orioles, who finished a 10-game road trip with a 4-6 record.

The Orioles took a 2-0 lead in the third. Pitcher Brad Bergesen singled for his first major league hit, Brian Roberts walked and Nick Markakis tripled to the wall in left-center.

Aubrey Huff's RBI single made it 3-0 in the fifth. Austin Kearns and Wil Nieves hit consecutive doubles in the bottom half and pitcher Shairon Martis had an RBI single, pulling the Nationals within 3-2.

Dunn followed Zimmerman's single in the sixth with a two-run shot for a 4-3 lead.

Jones connected in the seventh for his career-high 10th homer, giving the Orioles a 5-4 edge.

Bergesen went 5 2-3 innings, allowing four runs on eight hits. He walked none and struck out two. Martis allowed five runs on seven hits, walked two and struck out two.
