Ceddanne Rafaela homered, Romy Gonzalez had three hits, and the Boston Red Sox routed the Washington Nationals 10-3 to earn the 10,000th victory in franchise history.

WASHINGTON — When the hot hitters made it easy early, blowing the game open to render the outcome pretty much a given, Walker Buehler became the focal point of the rest of the Red Sox’ 10-3 win over the Nationals on Saturday.

Boston racked up seven runs in the inning on its way to a 10-3 victory, its second lopsided win in as many days.
