Brady House hit a go-ahead RBI double in the seventh inning, Josh Bell and Jacob Young drove in three runs apiece and the Washington Nationals set a season high for scoring in a 15-9 win against the Los Angeles Angels.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — On a night when the Washington Nationals were imperfect, they were also unrelenting. And in Friday’s 15-9 win over the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium — an affair that was close forever, until it wasn’t — Washington finally found itself in line for something other than a heartbreaking loss.

It is no secret that June has not been kind to the Nats. A 5-18 June has sent the season and the rebuild into a tailspin. However, the Nats have a chance to finish the month strong against a scrappy Angels team that is sitting at .500.
