Blackmon, Desmond power wild win over Nats

Ian Desmond came back to haunt his former team with a game-winning solo homer in the ninth inning that gave the Colorado Rockies a 6-5 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday. Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg retired 11 in a row before allowing the homer to Charlie Blackmon that tied the game 1-1 in the fourth. Blackmon, who finished with three RBIs, also homered against Max Scherzer the previous night, and he now has six on the year.
