[JonLP24]

HOUSTON -- The Nationals hit three consecutive home runs in a 13-2 victory over the Astros at Minute Maid Park on Saturday night.

Astros right-hander Felipe Paulino was on the mound when Washington struck for the back-to-back-to-back homers in the sixth inning. With one out, Nick Johnson knocked a 2-2 pitch over the right-field wall for his sixth homer of the season, making it a 7-2 game in favor of the Nationals.

Josh Willingham followed with his 11th home run of the season on the first pitch he saw. Adam Dunn was the next hitter and clubbed a 3-2 pitch over the left-field wall, his 23rd long ball, to make it a 9-2 game.

"When I see my video for tonight's game, I see good pitching, but they hit it," Paulino said. "I don't know what I'm going to do. I just tried to do my best."
