MLB Scores: Alex Call, Jeimer Candelario start game with homers, Washington Nationals beat Colorado Rockies 10-5

Alex Call and Jeimer Candelario hit back-to-back homers to start the game, CJ Abrams drove in three runs with a pair of triples and the Washington Nationals beat the Colorado Rockies 10-5 on Friday night.

MacKenzie Gore (2-0) turned in another strong performance and now has earned both wins for the Nationals (2-6) this season. The left-hander scattered two runs over six innings.

Call set the tone for the Nationals on a night the team collected 19 hits. In addition to the first leadoff homer of his career, he also brought home a run with a bases-loaded walk and another on a sacrifice fly.

Abrams kept up his torrid hitting with a three-hit, three-RBI performance. He's batting .467 over his last four games.

Gore and Abrams were both acquired by the Nationals last summer as part of the deal that sent Juan Soto to the San Diego Padres.

Rockies starter José Ureña (0-2) never found his rhythm and lasted only 2 2/3 innings. The righty allowed six runs — four earned — and seven hits while walking three. It's been a difficult start to the season for Ureña, whose ERA fell from 15.43 to 14.40 despite the rocky outing.

Trailing 8-2 in the seventh, the Rockies scored three times to tighten things up. But the Nationals responded with two in the eighth to begin the fan exodus from Coors Field.

Ryan McMahon lined his second homer of the season for Colorado, while Kris Bryant had a walk and an RBI single. Bryant has reached base in 45 of his 50 games since signing with the Rockies last season.
