WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals tied a franchise record Thursday with eight home runs in one game -- including four in a row in the third inning -- as they hammered the Milwaukee Brewers 15-2 to win the series in decisive fashion.Brian Goodwin, Wilmer Difo, Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman hit consecutive homers in the third inning off Milwaukee's Michael Blazek (0-1), making Washington the first team to accomplish the feat since Arizona in 2010.Anthony Rendon later homered in the same inning as the Nationals became the sixth team in major league history to rack up five in one frame -- the first since Milwaukee in 2006. Harper and Zimmerman each finished with two home runs as Washington equaled Montreal's eight-homer output of July 30, 1978, against Atlanta.Making a spot start in place of the injured Matt Garza, Blazek was roughed up, barely recording more outs (seven) than home runs allowed (six) during his brief outing. The beleaguered Brewers' bullpen was forced to turn to left fielder Hernan Perez to record the final three outs of the game.Indians 2, Angels 1CLEVELAND -- Francisco Lindor's two-out RBI single in the seventh inning snapped a tie and lifted Cleveland to a victory over Los Angeles.The Indians swept the three-game series to extend their winning streak to seven games.Trevor Bauer (9-8) pitched eight innings, allowing one run on seven hits, with six strikeouts and one walk to get the win.Blue Jays 8, Athletics 4 (10 innings)TORONTO -- Steve Pearce hit a game-ending grand slam off Liam Hendriks with two out in the bottom of the 10th inning as Toronto completed a four-game sweep of Oakland.Blue Jays manager John Gibbons, pitcher Marcus Stroman and catcher Russell Martin were ejected during the fifth inning in two separate arguments with home plate umpire Will Little about calls on balls and strikes.Kendrys Morales tied the game in the ninth with his second solo homer of the game for the Blue Jays.
