Keibert Ruiz and Trey Lipscomb each hit an RBI single during Washington's three-run eighth inning, and the Nationals beat the Chicago White Sox 6-3 on Tuesday in the opener of straight doubleheader.
"We've been playing great baseball all season," Williams said, "and the guys that are coming off the bench, even Nas today ... putting the pressure on it for us to score those runs at the end is great momentum going into game two."
The White Sox trailed 3-1 before pushing across two runs in the fifth against Trevor Williams. Errors by Lipscomb at third base and Eddie Rosario in left field helped set up a sacrifice fly for Braden Shewmake and a tying single for Pham.
Eloy Jiménez hit a solo homer for Chicago, which has dropped two in a row since a four-game win streak. Tommy Pham had two hits and drove in a run.
