No no-no for Blake Snell, but SF Giants beat Nationals with power show

As storms rolled toward the nation’s capital Wednesday evening, it was the Giants who continued to bring the thunder.

Blake Snell’s bid to join Johnny Vander Meer in the history books may have come up short, but the Giants got their 13th, 14th and 15th home runs of the road trip and smacked the Nationals, 7-4, to even their record back to .500 (58-58) and guarantee that no matter the result of Thursday’s 9:05 a.m. PT finale they will return home with a winning record on the seven-game trip.
