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.

Turns out, the offensive fireworks the Red Sox displayed Friday in D.C. weren’t limited to the Fourth of July. A day after their series-opening 11-2 win over the Nationals, the Red Sox bats stayed hot in a 10-3 triumph Saturday to secure the series win.

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.
