If Adam LaRoche, Jayson Werth and the rest of the Washington Nationals keep hitting homers, it'll help cover up other mistakes. LaRoche ended an 0-for-15 start to the season by going deep in consecutive at-bats, Werth and Ian Desmond also homered, and the Nationals overcame some sloppiness on the basepaths and from their bullpen to open an early interleague series by holding on to edge the Chicago White Sox 8-7 on Tuesday night.
