Murphy, Goodwin power 20-hit attack, Nationals top A’s 13-3

Daniel Murphy and Brian Goodwin each had four hits, including a home run, and Stephen Strasburg pitched seven strong innings as the Washington Nationals defeated the Oakland Athletics 13-3 on Friday night. Goodwin played right field in place of Bryce Harper, who was serving the third of his four-game suspension for his role in Monday's brawl with the San Francisco Giants. Dusty Baker's 1,800th managerial win was Washington's fourth straight and ninth in 11 games.
