Turner, who played with Washington for seven seasons before his trade to Los Angeles last July, extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a two-run single in the sixth. He also had an RBI groundout in his first at-bat.

Washington fell to 5-16 at Nationals Park, the worst home record in the majors.- who got the last out of the World Series that year for the Nationals - were introduced to applause before the lineups were announced.
