WASHINGTON (AP) - Dmitri Young hit a go-ahead, three-run homer Monday night to lead the Washington Nationals to a 4-3 victory over the Houston Astros, who have lost seven consecutive road games.
Washington's lone All-Star last week, Young lifted his batting average to a team-best .339 and his RBI total to a team-best 52. His ninth homer of the season came on a 1-0 pitch from Woody Williams with one out in the sixth inning.
It was the NL-high 22nd homer allowed by Williams (4-11) this season. The shot to right field followed a single by Ronnie Belliard and a bunt single by Ryan Zimmerman.
