Jeimer Candelario and Lane Thomas hit solo homers to spoil Matt Waldron's major league debut and Josiah Gray and three relievers combined on a four-hit shutout as the Washington Nationals defeated the host San Diego Padres 2-0 on Saturday night.
After scoring 23 runs in their previous two games, the Padres suffered their seventh shutout loss of the season Saturday.
Relievers Mason Thompson, Kyle Finnegan and Hunter Harvey retired all 10 Padres they faced as Washington won just its fifth game in June . Finnegan struck out two in a perfect eighth and Henry picked up his fifth save with a strikeout in a perfect ninth.
